Last summer, I went to the Hodges Figgis bookshop in Dublin on a little recon mission to browse the children’s books for inspiration for my publishing house’s first children’s book, Seed to Supper.
what an inspiration! I was just revisiting Stone Soup to start a children's cooking class with this book to be followed by other food related children's books. I am so happy I came across your post while I was looking to see when an order I placed would arrive. This is fantastic!
I don't know about you, but at a push, I could probably still recite the whole thing from memory! That is one of the books that is still on the shelf. x
I share this obsession! I find children's books comforting, nostalgic and totally inspirational. They crop up in all my recipe books - once I was interviewed by a very thorough reader who had counted up all the references in my book Leaf and I was quite surprised at quite how many there were! I am absolutely determined one day to combine the two - in various ways.

I hope some of my favourites become some of yours too! x
I just did a blueberry newsletter issue with a Blueberries for Sal section.
Love these books!
An entire Blueberries for Sal section? Heaven!
Small section with a memory of when I read it so often to my son that he could recite quite a bit of it!
Those are the very best stories - they are written on our hearts.
George and Martha are hits around here. Along with those other classics of course.
Good old George and Martha!
Each Peach Pear Plum really takes me back to my daughter's early years! What a comforting obsession

Talk about the best of both worlds!
