Little Cooks by Fiona Hamilton-Fairley
Making sure that children eat a balanced diet with plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables is not always easy, and good intentions can often fall by the wayside. One of the easiest ways of getting children to eat fresh, healthy is to get them to make it themselves! This beautifully clear book is perfect for those who are starting to learn to cook for themselves and is a great way to launch children into the world of creating delicious meals.The recipes are divided into four chapters: Breakfasts, Healthy Snacks and Lunchboxes, Family Weekend Meals and Teatime and Party Food. Children will learn how to cook 'real' food that is arranged and presented in a sensible way, rather than 'play' food that has been dressed up - this is a key point as many children's cook books patronize their readers. The recipes are all written clearly and simply and each one has step-by-step photographs to guide the reader, as well as a lovely photograph of the finished dish.The recipes in this book are about introducing children to the world of home cooking, teaching them that it is fun, as well as getting them involved with healthy, fresh food.
