Reviews of Leprechaun Cake & Other Tales:

"I was pleasantly surprised by my youngest co-reviewer, age 6, who had me read all the stories to him immediately. He refers to the recipes by referring to their stories. My 10-year-old co-reviewer was also interested in the stories and their interest was contagious. I learned that lots of adults may enjoy nutritional information in cookbooks but lots of children enjoy stories. I feel my co-reviewers' positive reactions to the book would be typical. I can highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a children's cookbook and I've learned the stories only enhance it." -- Pat Griffin, "The Vegetarian Voice"

"This delightful children's storybook, following the adventures of an ethnically mixed neighborhood, is also a vegetarian cookbook intended to involve children in cooking at the same time they are entertained by short stories. The stories are a combination of day-to-day life in the neighborhood peppered with fantasy and folk tales. Children learn that people from different backgrounds have their own traditions and that they can learn from and enjoy hearing about them." -- "Small Press"

 "We were very pleased with the book "Leprechaun Cake & Other Tales --- A Vegetarian Story-Cookbook..." -- Amy Bertsch, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals
