Knjiga pravljic in kuharska knjiga za otroke v enem! Knjiga je prejela oznako odličnosti "Zlata hruška 2018". Kako hitra je lahko bežeča palačinka? Koliko tatov se mora zbrati skupaj, da bi zares lahko ukradli krušne vonjave? Kateri kamen naredi juho najokusnejšo? Kako čaroben je ples fižolčkov v želodcu? Koliko pečenih jabolk sme pojesti prava princesa? Pripravljanje jedi je najbolj pravljično takrat, ko zraven prebiramo zgodbe. Dobre zgodbe pa so vedno začinjene s kančkom čarobnosti. Pripovedovanje in hrana sta bila tesno povezana vse od pradavnine, ko so lovci po prihodu z lova ob tabornem ognju govorili o svojih lovskih junaštvih in pri tem glodali kosti ulovljenih zveri, pa do časa kraljev na gradovih, ko so ob kraljevski pojedini radi prisluhnili zgodbam pripovedovalcev, in vse do časa večerij ob televiziji, ko se je zbrala cela družina, da bi skupaj jedli in si ogledali film. Avtorici kuharske knjige Pripojedke sta navdih za jedi iskali v svetu domišljije: v svetu pravljic, legend in pripovedk. Mladim kuharjem začetnikom – mi smo jih poimenovali kar kuhalci – pri sukanju kuhalnice svetujeta prav to: obilo domišljije.
