as cooks/ Recipes
His first recipe book, Nic’s Cookbook, sold 120 copies in 30 minutes at the bookshop where
it was launched last October. Now Nic has produced another book of recipes that
are fun for children to make and to EAT. The recipes are simple, sensitive to
issues like the No Nut Ban and the
cheerful photos of Nic in his trade mark black and white checked apron as he
concentrates on stirring, chopping and sometimes tasting, makes you realize
this is a book that is going to be good to use.
As they did with the first book, Nic and Scholastic
are donating 50% of the royalties to the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
Year 3 up / Age 7 up
First on our screens this morning came the great news
that last night in Auckland at the Arts Foundation Award ceremony, Gavin Bishop was honoured with
the Ann Mallinson Award for illustration.
Then almost before we had had time to finish our breakfast coffee the
news came through that New Zealander Eleanor Catton had won the Man Booker
prize for her novel The Luminaries. At
28, Eleanor is the youngest writer to win the prize in its history.
