It's a spice called foolinya, from the island of Hummina Hummina. Maybe we can travel there someday—I hear they have a really big water slide." Start with snacks and desserts, then move to sandwiches and pizza, and soon your family will be eating an entire healthy meal! Drawings show each step of preparation, and color photos show how to make each dish look irresistible.
