Great cookbook, and I wish all the Disney Princess art looked like this!
Lots of other reviewers have described the recipes, and the ones we've tried so far are great. (The pancakes are the best you'll ever make!) I posted some example pics of the pages.
What I actually want to comment on, as an artist, mom and avid Disney fan, are the illustrations, which I LOVE. I looked at each page just so I could look at them. Whoever did these illustrations needs to be promoted to head of the Disney Princess product art department! They are very well done, and very true to each princess' movie look. I couldn't stand Disney's extreme "makeovers" on all the princesses, where they glammed them up by not only giving them more makeup and fancier hair and clothes, but also changed their bodies and faces, making them taller, skinnier, paler, older and vapid. But in this book, the princesses look just like they did in the movies, very cute, more "real" (as real as a cartoon can get) and down-to-earth, with some personality. Love it!
Also, the men are shown cooking too, which is great!
