Alice Eats

Book excerpt: "This delightful volume is the full text of the original Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll, with recipes and photographs by Julie Van Rosendaal and new, full-colour illustrations by Pierre A. Lamielle. There is also a special tea-party section inspired, of course, by the famously chaotic and surreal Mad Hatter's Tea Party. This section includes a 16-recipe menu--four sets of four recipes (a sweet dessert, a savoury dish, a scone and a drink), one set for each of the characters at the Wonderland tea party (Alice, the Mad Hatter, the Dormouse and the March Hare)--complemented by tips making the perfect pot of tea, dipping tea biscuits and reading tea leaves as well as an illustrated glossary of tea sandwiches. Whether this book is for a young girl's dreamy tea-party or a grown-up's costume-fantasy event or a creative afternoon in the kitchen, Alice Eats will delight, entertain and inspire. Readers who are "curiouser and curiouser" about planning an Alice-themed event, who want to know what an "Eat Me" cake might taste like or who want to make a memorable English afternoon tea will find both classic and out-of-this-world ideas in Alice Eats.
