Review: The Little Women Cookbook by Wini Moranville
One of my favourite classics, Little Women, is a story that celebrates families and sisters. The Little Women Cookbook carries on this theme with some straightforward recipes that will bring you back to the world of the March family. Recipes, such as Jo’s Much Improved Asparagus and Amy’s “Pickled Lime” Sugar Cookies, will evoke strong memories of the books and its characters.
❀ Whimsical Images
This cookbook not only features recipes that are influenced by Alcott’s books, it also contains some whimsical images and photographs. In addition, the author shares quotes from the stories and some history about the era the book was written in. These little tidbits make the book much more than a collection of recipes, but a companion for fans of the original stories.

Vanilla Butter Cookies with Mr. Bhaer’s Chocolate Drops
Mr. Bhaer’s chocolate drops are represented in this book, and the Vanilla Butter Cookies that are included in the cookbook are quick, easy, and delicious. They were definitely gobbled up pretty fast at my house, as I imagine Meg’s children would have in Little Women.
❀ Great Gift Idea
The Little Women Cookbook by Wini Moranville would make a great gift if you have a Little Women fan in your life. It is a pretty cookbook that will be a great addition to any shelf. It makes the wait for the new movie a little bit easier, for sure!
That cover though! ♥

Isn’t it adorable?!
I love this kind of stuff! But the recipe names sound intimidating 😰
Don’t be intimidated! This has really simple recipes. 🙂
This sounds like such a fun cookbook. I enjoy cooking and Little Women has always been a favorite.
It is such a fun idea for anyone who enjoys the stories!
Thank for a great review. I really appreciate it. And I *love* your photo of the Chocolate Drop cookies. That’s exactly how mine look — like lovely little thumbprint butter cookies with chocolate in the middle!
Thanks again for the thoughtful piece
Best,

Oh, I love it! My daughter hasn’t read Little Woman yet. I definitely need to get this for her, and pair it with a copy of LW.
That would be such a lovely gift!
This would be the perfect gift!
