Product Details

Product Description

The Associated Press

"Cooking in Oz" will keep fans of the Oz legends eagerly turning the paperback's pages even if they never go near the kitchen. Authors Elaine Willingham and Steve Cox have assembled not only recipes but also an assortment of anecdotes, memories and photos from a wide range of people connected with the story since its first appearance 100 years ago. The orginal, "The Wizard of Oz," by L. Frank Baum, was published as a children's book in 1900. It turned into a 20th-century cultural phenomenon, immortalized in the classic 1939 film, and subsequent film, television and musical-theater versions. That adds up to a huge cast of collaborators, and their families and descendants, with stories to tell and favorite foods to offer.


Cult Movies magazine, 1999

"A time-capsule... twists and turns in its journey down the yellow brick road...cleverly written and assembled by Oz historians "

5.0 out of 5 stars Unique Collectors Item, Aug 1 2003
By Sara Garrison (Harbor Springs, MI United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The entire book is great fun. The recipes are genuinely tasty and even have hilarious names! Plus, the book is chock full of photographs and trivia. Even if you don't cook, any fan of Oz will find plenty to love. And if you're a kitchen wizard who isn't into Oz so much, you'll pick up lots of delicious new ideas. Makes a great gift. A treasure written by two wonderful people!

5.0 out of 5 stars OZ always in our hearts, now in our stomachs!, Jul 6 2000
By Kevin (Lenexa, Kansas) - See all my reviews
If anyone doubted the power of OZ and how ingrained it is in our collective psyche (and now our tastebuds!), then just pick up this marvelous book!

Told with fantastic wit and charm, this book is a must-have for anyone interested in Oz trivia or new, creative recipes. The anecdotes and musings are sprinkled generously throughout, with ample portions of photos and I loved those vintage ads!

This is the perfect addition to this summer's cookout season. I've had more fun telling people where I got the recipe for Bitey Beans! Everyone wants to borrow my copy and try them out for themselves. It's quite a conversation starter at picnics.

Although I have to admit I ate almost half a Winkie Chocolate Peanut Butter pie in one sitting last weekend and was left moaning, "Oh what a world, what a world.." So pace yourself and your waistline!
