Main Street Gazette: To all of the Disney chefs

To all of the Disney chefs

In 1986 Disney released Cooking with Mickey Around Our World, a cookbook which featured the “MOST requested recipes from Walt Disney World and Disneyland.” It has since been followed up with a smorgasbord of cookbooks featuring everything from desserts to specialty items from the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival. During one of the busiest cooking and baking periods of the year, there is no finer collection of time-tested favorites and extinct recipes! While not available in print any longer, Cooking with Mickey is easy to find in secondary markets like Ebay and Amazon, or even in used books stores (which is where I found my copy).

The recipes are the stars here, and deservedly so, but that doesn’t mean the gorgeous cover and clever interior dividers should be snubbed. Why not print off your favorite graphic and cook along with Mickey as you prepare for Thanksgiving or your next big meal!

TBender, I still use it here and there as well! Some of these recipes may be extinct in WDW, but they still hold up to the taste test in my house!; November 27, 2011 at 1:43 PM
