This book is a great way to introduce children to cooking. The story and pictures before each recipe helped to engage my daughter and the detail was also informative helping her to learn about different ingredients. I particularly liked the tips on some of the pages which helped her to understand how to develop her cooking skills to get the best results and the 'you will need' section on each recipe advising the utensils needed - this helped my daughter to learn about being organised and plan ahead before starting to cook.

The book has plenty of healthy recipes and because my daughter helped make the dishes she was more willing to try them, which is a great way to encourage healthy eating. Overall this is a fun book, a good introduction to cooking and a great way for parents and children to spend time together.
