I'm delighted to be the final stop on the blog tour for Tasty Tales, written and illustrated by Ann Lena Feunekes and published by UCLan Publishing. Tasty Tales takes a look at the origin stories behind some of the world's favourite foods and explores the cultures of several different countries. I've already shared a couple of stories with my class - their favourite (so far) is called When a Sea Captain Gave the Doughnut Its Hole - and we've selected the first one we're going to read next week, which is When Candyfloss Was a Banquet Dish. It's a great book for pupils to dip into, delivering genuinely interesting information in an extremely entertaining way.
Below are some exclusive videos from Anna Lena, where she demonstrates her illustration process for three stories from the book. I hope you enjoy watching them!

Tasty Tales was released in May 2024. It's available from all good bookshops, but can also be purchased directly from my bookshop.org page.
