Book Reviews of Cooking in Oz: Kitchen Wizardry and a Century of Marvels from America's Favorite Tale

Book Review: A for effort
Summary: 2 Stars

The authors have put in much time and effort but I seem to have missed the point with this book. As a long time Oz and Garland fan, I don't know quite what to make of the whole thing. As a cookbook the recipes are old and dull, with most loaded with sugar and fat, (as are the celebrities who contributed their thoughts!) There isn't a single photo I have not seen before and the Oz related information is simply rehashed facts from previous Oz books. Even with the plethora of info available on Ozthese days, these authors have managed to get a few facts wrong. A nice thought. If you're an Oz fan, get it, you can never have enough books on Oz. If you're a cook or a baker, don't.
