Mud Book How to Make Pies and Cakes John Cage Lois Long 9780810915336 Books Reviews
- This is the BEST first cook book ever. Years ago I bought it for my daughter as her first cookbook (she is now 23) and I also just purchased it for a friend's little girl. We "love" to make mud pies and cookies... My daughter asked me "mom please save my mud cook book, someday I'll share it with my daughter" so it is still in my kitchen after all these years - and moves, it is a treasure.
- So we can't all make music like the Velvet Underground but mud pies are an art form achievable by virtually every humanoid life form. Of course there's a certain ammount of finesse that comes only with time and practice, but Cage's meticulous instructions exist as a solid framework for beginners in this sublime craft. The illustrations are just the sort of inspiration an amateur mud pie or cake maker needs to get those creative juices flowing.
- Contrary to what the editorial review says, this is not a "good-natured satire". This book is both a serious and fun guide for making mud cakes and pies. Everybody can do it! The fact that the result might not be edible does not detract from the value of this little book. The illustrations are great, and the language is suited both for children and adults. If you have ever read Walter DeMaria's words on meaningless work, you will surely appreciate this book.
