About the book

Pooh is often satisfied with marmalade on a honeycomb, but here are recipes for more substantial breakfast foods, such as Poohanpiglet Pancakes, Apricot Honey Bread, Muffins, and Popovers for Piglet. And here are some ideas for tasty, easy-to-prepare Smackerels at eleven o'clock when "it's time for a little something." Provisions for Picnics and Expotitions are included as well as sustaining Lunch and Supper dishes. And, of course, desserts, Christmas Specialties, and Honey Sauces--all very close to a Pooh lover's heart. --back cover
