Bear has woken from his hibernation and is ready to see his friends.  But first, he needs to prepare some delicious food to share.  His friend Fox stops by and together they search the forest for the freshest spring ingredients. 

Hodge includes 13 vegetarian recipes using fresh herbs and spring vegetables.  The frame of Bear and Fox’s friendship is sweet.  As a cookbook its helpful for budding vegetarians, but its range is limited as cookbook.
