Illustrated by
Nancy Carpenter.
When young Marcia Shaw declares that "cookery is magic," family cook Fannie, calling cooking "an art and science that anyone can learn," decides to write down her instructions for success in the kitchen. Hopkinson's clever narrative is presented as seven courses-cum-chapters. Carpenter blends nineteenth-century etchings and engravings with her own zestful illustrations.
