Feasts of Fancy

Janet Arnett is the former campus manager of adult education at Ontario’s Georgian College. She is the author of Antiques and Collectibles: Starting Small, The Grange at Knock, and 673 Ways to Save Money.

The art of cooking and the art of cartooning are happily married in this
minuscule book. Twenty recipes. Twenty full-color humorous paintings.
Twenty smiles.

The recipes were selected for their value as subjects for visual puns.
Take the names literally and you’ll have a good idea why the author
included such dishes as Angels on Horseback, Pigs in Blankets,
Fiddleheads, Asparagus Spears, Chicken а la King, Banana Loaf, and
Devilled Eggs. While the recipes are complete and could be used in the
kitchen, the book is more likely to be purchased for its tongue-in-cheek
humor. Without the art, the recipes lack distinction or a reason to be
published.
