Here’s what to give the booklover who wants their Sunday mornings to feel a little more whimsical.

Pull together a gift basket so they can….

Make buckwheat pancakes on a Sunday morning, just like the March sisters in Little Women.

Host their own Secret Garden afternoon tea with homemade crumpets.

Curl up with proper English muffins, just like Sara Crewe in A Little Princess.

What to include:

Once Upon A Cookbook by Bryton Taylor. Forty authentic recipes from over twenty classic children’s stories we know and love.

3-5 quality pantry staples. Stock them up with these quality ingredients that appear across multiple recipes so they can open the book and start cooking straight away.
– all-purpose flour
– active dry yeast
– baking powder
– good quality unsalted butter
– sea salt
– select spices: allspice, nutmeg, cinnamon
Bonus suggestion: eggs and milk are needed for many recipes. A little carton of quality eggs and a glass bottle of fresh milk from a farmer’s market make this extra special.

To complete the basket, include a linen apron, wooden rolling pin and crumpet rings to round out the gift.
