Nanuka and Bede - What's for DinnerA charming children's picture book with recipes to read as an activity book in the kitchen or a story book at bed time The recipes are all regular favourites of Nanuka and Bede and are quite typical of those prepared in Bhutanese households day in day out. The portioning is for two hungry adults and the chilli heat is for the somewhat brave, but enjoyable for the initiated. The story is framed to create an ambience for the younger audience with the ironic harmony in the kitchen slightly elaborated and all tantrums edited out. |
