Do restaurant menus featuring full-colour food photos kick your salivary glands into high gear? Angela Wilkes's inviting, heavily illustrated cookbook offers the same satisfaction of seeing exactly what you're going to get--along with the ensuing hunger pangs. Children can follow each recipe step by step, with photographs that show what you're supposed to do, how to do it, and when. Thankfully, the 60 recipes are appealing dishes the whole family will want to eat, from Salade Nicoise and Filled Crepes to the more basic Tacos and Guacamole and Spicy Chicken Burgers. The chapters include: "Before You Start", "Kitchen Rules", "Super-Fast Snacks" (Cheater's Pizzas, Crunchy Crostini, Fruit Smoothies), "Speedy Meals" (Classic Omelettes, Vegetable Soups, Chicken Curry and Rice); "Delightful Desserts" (Lemon Cheesecake, Fruit Crumble, Tiramisu), "Treats and Sweets" (Oat Bars, Chocolate Dips, Macaroons), "Picture Glossary" (Grilling, Stir-Frying, Marinating) and a helpful index. The book provides quantities of ingredients in both imperial and metric measurements and clearly organizes the ingredients lists. The overall effect is dazzling--youngsters will find themselves right at home in the kitchen, whipping up simple or elaborate dishes with confidence and glee. (Ages 9 to 12)

Speechless
Angela Wilkes is a God! No matter how hard I have tried I have never been able to get my children into cooking - until this book came along. Its quality is in its unique simpilicity. The writing is clear and easy to comprehend and the colourful photographs make everything even easier to understand. I would recommend this masterpiece to anyone who likes cooking, young or old. Thank you Angela.

Salivating yours
This book is just fabulous! Being 19 years old and loving cooking I have all sorts of recipes at home. But this book . . . with all its photos and so easy to understand instructions you just can't spoil those dishes. Even profiteroles seem so easy. You know, this book is in fact dangerous : everytime I read it, I get hungry, of course, but then when I have a look what we have in our fridge - I become sad . . . Buy it, try it and love it.
