“Chef Creole is a cook man. Oooh, boudin! I liked his nose. I want some of those ingredients and I
liked it when they said his name is Chef Creole, Creole, Creole. I think I would add to this book
pickles for his cheeks. He’s missing ears.”
Parent’s Note:
Grayce really enjoyed the repetition in this book and the idea of ingredients making the Chef’s face.
It’s nicely written with a New Orlean’s flavor and feel. At the end, I might suggest adding a recipe
from the Chef’s kitchen that a child could make. Overall, “Chef Creole” by Johnette Downing is a
fun book and one Grayce likes to read.
