The Kids Only Cookbook by Sue Quinn


I got this for my almost 7-year-old daughter. She did some cookery classes at an after-school club and this is a continuation of that. She read the intro to me. It says "the book is aimed at children aged 8-12, but those younger and older than this will also have lots to enjoy". So she falls into the "lots to enjoy" category.

There are some easy recipes mixed with some harder ones. We've just started with some easy ones like the jam-wich, which is a sandwich with butter and jam which is cut into shapes using a cookie cutter. She read the instructions out then did it with some supervision, and now she makes this on her own. We are moving on now to harder recipes using the difficulty star rating so that we can choose appropriately easy recipes. 

The pictures and layout of the pages are nice and colourful and she likes the title "Kids-Only" which makes the book feel like it really belongs to her and her alone. I can see her using this book over the next few years to make her first steps cooking her own things, before we can pass the book to her younger sister. 

(I got this book through Amazon Vine. It is listed HERE.)
