Austinite's
book grabs kids' interests
Austin American Statesman
by
Kiddy Crider
"Want
to get kids interested in food?"
"Make
it fun, says Austinite Marko Ellinger."....."Asparagus
spears and cheese slices turn into teepees. Carrots
are curled into turbans.".....
"With
whimsical drawings, he entices youngsters to create
not only fun snacks and meals but also art projects
- sculptures of beans and toothpicks, shrunken heads
made from apples, "pasta-mobiles." He even
tells how to make magic with eggs and music with carrots."
"Educational
as well as fun, his 100-page book gives cooking safety
tips, U.S.D.A.'s new Eating Right food pyramid and hints
about how to reduce waste and recycle. The book, subtitled
"a cookbook for children who cherish the earth,"
is carried at Toad Hall Book Store, Wheatsville Coop
and Terra Toys."
"Ellinger,
who has cooked in Austin restaurants for a dozen years,
now focuses on performance chef appearances, culinary
presentations and childrens' events." .....and
more.....
