Eva Kwolek, Columbus, IN, USA: “Klassic Koalas: Vegetarian Delights Too Cute to Eatcontains the most adorable food I’ve ever seen! “Too Cute to Eat” is right! I would have never thought that so many foods could be created into koalas. As a vegetarian, it is sometimes hard for me to find different tasty treats, but this book is full of options. An added bonus are the pictures placed next to each recipe. If my friends and family didn’t already know I had an obsession with koalas, they’ll soon be thrilled to find out with these delicious baking projects.”
