Customer Reviews

great for young cooks
Good cook book, which gives clear wording along with pictures for all the recipes. I gave this as a gift to a 3 year, which was perfect. I found it hard finding a cook book suitable for young children. My friends daughter can now follow a recipe with her Mummy and feels like she is helping.

A gorgeous gift for girly girls!
This lovely book contains 16 recipes for children and adults to do together. These range from a variety of desserts such as cookies, biscuits, mousse, muffins and cakes, to a couple of savoury options which include shaped sandwiches and cheese scones, to sweets such as fudge and marzipan toadstools.

The book is well laid out with a double page for each recipe. There is a list of ingredients, a photo of the finished product and then a series of simple steps to complete the recipe. Every step has a picture next to it to show kids how to do it. It's all really easy to follow.

This isn't for kids to do by themselves, unless they are at least 9 I would imagine, but younger children will love cooking with their mum or dad. I would think any girls from 3 to 11 would love this (and as a much older girl I like it too!). It definitely is very pink and glittery though so not for boys!

The only drawback I can see is that some of the recipes aren't very original (such as butterfly cakes), and there is a heavy emphasis on biscuits, with 6 out of the 16 recipes being for these. However some recipes are more unusual, such as the toadstools or the iced raspberry mousse.

To be fair, most parents with a basic baking knowledge could probably adapt their current adult recipes to make these sorts of items without the help of this book, but the way this is laid out with the little pictures for the kids and the lovely photos of the finished items makes this a very nice item nonetheless.

A great gift for a budding chef!
I bought this as a gift for a young girl, hoping that the recipes would not be either too easy or far too complicated!
The book itself is beautiful with lovely illustrations and designs. It is great for little girls who love their pink sparkly things!
I had a look through the book and was pleasd to see some basic, yet creative, ideas to get young children involved in the kitchen. However, some of the recipes were things that I'm sure many parents have already done! Makes a lovely gift though
