Jama's Alphabet Soup

Jama's Alphabet Soup is "An Eclectic Feast of Food, Fiction, Folderol and Chewy Culinary Verse." I blog about food-related literature and adventures in good eating, liberally seasoned with bits of culinary history and a good measure of light fare. Special focus on children's picture books, contemporary artists and illustrators from the UK, and literary cookbooks.
