Alphabet Soup, a blog about children's books and food (need I say more?), written by children's writer Jama Rattigan, is featuring a review of Cora Cooks Pancit today, complete with an interview with Kristi Valiant.
Jama says, "Here's a thoroughly delicious, lip-smacking picture book, perfect for celebrating Asian Pacific American Heritage Month!" I couldn't agree more. "The true joys of cooking -- from the initial anticipation, through every step of preparation, and finally, the sharing and tasting, is palpable with every page turn. By the time you come to the final double page spread of the whole family at the table, you'll wish you were right there, feasting on the adobo chicken, lumpia, and Cora's first pancit."
Besides a review of the book and some words from Krist on how she developed the illustrations, there are some interior images and a great photo of a bowl of pancit.
Which reminds me... it's lunchtime. Mmm.
