Have you ever read a novel in which the character talks
about his or her favorite food? Or perhaps the emotional climax of the novel
takes place over a plate of steaming dumplings. One fun way to make the
experience of reading a picture book, chapter book, or novel even richer is to
prepare and share a food that was a part of the book.
In my book Stinky and
Successful: The Riot Brothers Never Stop, a puffy breakfast treat called
Dutch Babies play a starring role. I received so many letters asking about this
home-cooked dish, I decided to create a how-to video for my recipe.

Make some pasta after reading Strega Nona! The next time you
read a book, look for a culinary opportunity and get out that bowl and spoon.
