Tiana’s Cookbook

The Fickle Finger of Fate — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 18:50:23 +0000

Of course we love The Princess and the Frog! Well the animation style is beautiful anyway- less said about the characterisations the better… We enjoyed this tarot sequence, and all the references to Louisiana cooking. Alas the special tarot pack doesn’t seem to be included in the merchandising, but we did discover this wonderful book. Some of the recipes are impressively grown up- including mint juleps, chicken and biscuits, and red beans and rice. Mmmm! The Princess and the Frog: Tiana’s Cookbook: Recipes for Kids

Speak of the devil- we were looking for an image of broken sunglasses and discovered this nifty swatch. Ok, so it’s not one of the completely black ones, but it’s still quite sweet if you remove the 007 band.
