School Library Journal

Gr 3-7-As much a "look book" as a cookbook, Redwall gathers recipes for food eaten in the popular series. Endearingly monikered dishes such as "Hare's Pawspring Vegetable Soup" and "Rosey's Jolly Raspberry Jelly Rock Cakes" are included, along with "Mole's Favourite Deeper 'n' Ever Turnip 'n' Tater 'n' Beetroot Pie." Grouped by season, the dishes are wonderfully evocative of the charm that underlies all of Redwall, and titles like "Stones inna Swamp" and "Savoury Squirrel Bakes" have humor. Jacques ties the recipes of each section together with a sweetly told tale of preparations for a seasonal feast, heartily populated with the favorite characters complete with their individual antics and turns of phrase. While the recipes are generally far from simple and often heavy on butter and cream (although almost completely vegetarian), the real appeal of this book lies in its gorgeously rendered and finely detailed illustrations done in acrylic paint and charcoal. Written for an older audience than Jacques's The Great Redwall Feast (Philomel, 1996), this gastronomical visit to the Abbey will be enjoyed by "Redwall" devotees.-Joyce Adams Burner, Hillcrest Library, Prairie Village, KS Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.
