In a world where there are dragons, wyverns, and haunted squash, you'd figure someone would have recipes for them, right? Rutabaga and his magic cooking pot, Pot, join young adventurers Winnifred, Manny, and Beef on a quest to defeat a dragon, discover new ingredients, find monsters to have for and/or to dinner, and to save the day through cooking. Rutabaga will dare any danger to uncover new tastes, and there's a whole world full of food to try - from roasted mud leech to spider soup to peanut butter on crackers. His heroic recipes combine real ingredients, fantasy ingredients, and real ingredients that sound fantastical. Rutabaga the Adventure Chef is the perfect adventure for any kid grossed out when something weird shows up on the dinner table.… (more)

I'm not entirely sure how I feel about this one. The ARC states the intended age range is 8-12, and there is a kiddish feel to the art. At the same time, it didn't entirely read (to me) like a story that would be interesting/exciting to kids in that age range. I'll be curious to see how kids in the target demographic feel about it.

Note: I received an ARC from the publisher. ( )

I had such a hard time getting into this book. Rutabaga is a chef, and they love to cook. But their love of cooking gets them mixed up in all sorts of adventures. Like plucking mushrooms off a long lost enchanted sword. Or following a Viking like clan as they defeat the creature that killed their queen. Overall this book was OK I just didn’t care about it or the characters. I do have book 2 however I doubt I read it. ( )

Cute, funny and an entertaining twist on the fantasy adventurer trope. I love that Rutabaga's whole plan is to discover rare ingredients, and eat whatever comes along. ( )

So many great laughs in this unique graphic novel for kids. Now I'm dying to see it in colour! ( )
