"What does cookery mean? It means the knowledge of Medea and of Circe, and of Calypso, and Sheba." -John Ruskin

♥ Very descriptive! (and now I'm hungry ._.)

I have never seen cooking so effectively used as imagery-- consistently through a story, no less. It's a story that seems all light and golden airiness, but ends on just the right amount of creepiness to make you shiver.

Seriously, that was incredibly amazing to read. ♥ One of the most different spin-offs of Red Riding Hood I've ever seen, and perhaps the only one where it's the grandmother who saves the day.

Thank you for a wonderful story-- which gave me more than enough delicious food for thought (pun totally intentional) to make up for the time I spent slack-jawed and gaping over it.

Oh, wow. This is an amazing story. I love how you worked fairly every day events (there's no magic, or real witches or wolves), but told them with such perfect fairytale language: the result is something lovely and fascinating. The food descriptions, by the way, are the best things ever; I'm so hungry now! Amazing, amazing story.

Wonderful. I like how the grandmother uses the wolf's own appetites against him, that makes for such a satisfying ending.
