I remember getting this book when I just started out second grade, which was almost 27 years ago!! (Ok, you can do the math...). You know how kids like to claim their properties?? Well, it appears I did too..
Just take a look at the wonderful illustrations... I think this book was translated from a Japanese book, since that was the trend back then. The recipes also include traditional cheese cake, a very popular cake with Japanese people, no?
Even better, this book is actually good for little cooks because it shows illustrated step by step instructions, and they are all just adorable! (click to enlarge)
I guess I just wanted to share this with you... I still can't believe I've had this treasure all along... a piece of my childhood! Now I can give it to my daughter and continue the cycle...
Have a blissful day, everyone! oxox

It was nice to have found you, Sandy... Your art is amazing!! Thanks so much for returning the call (^_^). Yes, I do work with colored pencils, sometimes with soft pastels or watercolor.
ReplyDeleteWhoaa! First, what are you doing cleaning the attic? Second, I see Anak, in my language anak means child. What does it mean in yours?
ReplyDeleteHahaha!! Ces, I show you this, and you ask me why was I cleaning the attic??? Actually 'anak' also means 'child' in my languange. Wait, I thought you speak tagalog? At least I read it somewhere in Mita's comment.

ReplyDeleteHahaha! I said I am reading what you and Mita are commenting to each other but I could not understand a word. HAHAHAHA!
ReplyDeleteHow are you sweet? Good morning!
What a wonderful treasure to pass on to your daughter, Amalia! How wonderful!! It was meant to be. Look at all of the detail! I just read your previous post - my how difficult it sounded when you were adjusting to life in London...I can't imagine having to adjust to all that you experienced..but what a journey you have had and can reflect upon and now add pieces that you love to your daughter to continue on in her future. I love the illustration now in your blog header..so thoughtful and beautiful. Many thanks for posting..it's wonderful to visit you!
ReplyDeleteWow Amalia, what a find! I bet you can't wait to get cooking with your daughter - how wonderful, I love it!
ReplyDeleteI miss visiting everyone, so I'm popping over more than I should, but just can't help it!
That's adorable! I love those little drawings in there. How wonderful to have kept this so that you can hand it down to your kids. Be prepared for a lot of flying powdered sugar! :D
ReplyDeletewahhh....i wish they still have this type of book @ gramedia :)
ReplyDeleteHi Amalia...just catching up on your past blog posts and this recipe book is such a cute find....I love those illustrations!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great book! I have my first cookbook too and gave it to my daughter. And I too wrote my name in my books! LOL
