Description

"This delightful volume is the full text of the original Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll, with recipes and photographs by Julie Van Rosendaal and new, full-colour illustrations by Pierre A. Lamielle.

There is also a special tea-party section inspired, of course, by the famously chaotic and surreal Mad Hatter's Tea Party. This section includes a 16-recipe menu--four sets of four recipes (a sweet dessert, a savoury dish, a scone and a drink), one set for each of the characters at the Wonderland tea party (Alice, the Mad Hatter, the Dormouse and the March Hare)--complemented by tips making the perfect pot of tea, dipping tea biscuits and reading tea leaves as well as an illustrated glossary of tea sandwiches.

Whether this book is for a young girl's dreamy tea-party or a grown-up's costume-fantasy event or a creative afternoon in the kitchen, Alice Eats will delight, entertain and inspire. Readers who are "curiouser and curiouser" about planning an Alice-themed event, who want to know what an "Eat Me" cake might taste like or who want to make a memorable English afternoon tea will find both classic and out-of-this-world ideas in Alice Eats. "

Julie Van Rosendaal was an avid cook as early as age three. When her father, known for his insatiable sweet tooth, found out he had high cholesterol, Julie took her expertise in the kitchen and began creating healthier and low fat recipes for cookies and sweets. After spending years doing research and experimenting in the kitchen, Julie developed a knack for taking recipes of foods that she craved, typically high in fat, and creating a healthier version. At the same time, she realized that dieting was silly and began to live on her own terms. She simply cooked and ate healthier versions of the foods she loved. In addition to giving her ideas for health-conscious cookbooks (which would eventually become bestsellers), this change in lifestyle led Julie to lose 165 pounds—a testament to the effectiveness and practicality of her recipes and food philosophy. Quickly the demand for her delicious low fat recipes became so great that she opened her own low fat bakery in Calgary, Alberta. With the great success of this bakery, Julie decided to share her low fat recipes with the world—in One Smart Cookie, among other cookbooks. Referred to as the “queen of the skinny sweet” and the “poster girl for low fat cooking,” Julie is in high demand for her knowledge and expertise. She has appeared on numerous television and radio shows, led many cooking demonstrations across North America, and regularly contributes to newspapers and magazines.
