Maria’s Kitchen
The author explains how the title of the book came about. The pencil drawings are very good. She also includes a fictional family to explain the different rituals. It is written in the third person point of view. There are instructions to make crafts used in rituals or to honor the season. At the end of each section there are questions asking what the reader learned.
The recipes in Maria’s Kitchen have photos and detailed instructions. They remind me of Greek food I have had over the years in Tarpon Springs and in Greece. Although this is listed as an adult nonfiction book, it is written towards children or young adults. This would be a good book for someone interested in Bulgarian history.
