A Book of Radish Recipes: Official Cookbook of the Loyal Kingdom of Radish Ronald W. Mealing

Throughout the world, the radish is grown liberally. They can come in many different shapes, colours and sizes but one thing they all have in common is that they are all so good to eat. This book is a compilation of recipes assembled from a variety of sources and written by many different authors which, in one way or another, all cleverly utilise the tantalising flavour of this simple food in many different ways. This recipe book has been created Under Appointment to King Ronald of Radish, the revered Sovereign of The Loyal Kingdom of Radish. In 1984, Ron Mealing, who compiled this book, published a children's illustrated story book entitled "Adventures in the Lost Kiingdom of Radish" which traced various strange activities in this mythical Kingdom "somewhere out there" in which the humble radish played a very important role, Ron has commenced to bring his original creation to the "silver screen" as an animated feature film and, on the way, decided that an assembly of radish recipes into an Official Cookbook of The Loyal Kingdom of Radish was highly appropriate as a companion work to his eventual theatrical release. Interlaced throughout the book are many illustrations showing some of the earliest development of the story. Cooking, throughout the world, at times, uses some strange names for some of the things a recipe wants you to do. At the end of this book is a Glossary containing a detailed explanation of a number of these which may appear within one or more of the many radish recipes contained in this compilation.
