What did Mona Lisa Eat?

Leonardo and Mona Lisa at the Table.

Here's a delightful book: Pass The Pandowny, Please: Chewing on History with Famous Folks and their Fabulous Foods by Abigail Ewing Zelz, illustrated by Eric Zelz.

If you often read this blog, you know that I love to explore what famous people ate. Most recently, I read two food-centered biographies of Abraham Lincoln and Benjamin Franklin, but I've had many more encounters with famous people and their food. If you have been following me forever, you know that one of my first such blog posts was:

Mona Lisa: By Request

Renaissance Pasta or, What Did Mona Lisa Eat?

Well, here is a book that follows up 13 famous men and 3 famous women, checking out what they ate. It looks like a children's book -- but really it was written just for me (and maybe you).

For a fantastic review, check this blog post by Jama:

I'm totally grateful to Jama for this post. I ordered a copy of the book for myself as soon as I read her
review. I might even make her pandowny recipe. If you don't know what pandowny is, that's another
good reason to read her post.
