I have been looking at this cookbook for a while now.
What initially caught my attention was the whimsical cover illustration, and then realising it was written by Monica Trapaga, my favourite Playschool presenter, I became seriously interested.
Initially, I though that the delightful illustrations were by Tragaga, however on closer inspection, I discovered that they were in fact by an Australian artist by the name of Meredith Gaston. I managed to find some more of her work at a website called kindergallery, and I have to say that I am now in love with her quirky, innocent aesthetic. It is refreshingly childlike and playful, probably due to the fact it is aimed at children, but I think it has a broader appeal. It certainly speaks to me. Make of that what you will!
