The Silver Spoon for children – chosen some of the easier recipes with less sophisticated knife and cooking skills. Thought of good ways to explain the cutting and chopping so it can be done safely. The food is excellent and you get to hang out with your kids and actually cook.
The recipes are carefully explained with Harriet Russell’s sweet illustrations and with vivid color photographs.
The cooking chapters are divided into sections like “Lunches And Snacks”, “Pasta and Pizza”, “Main Courses” and “Desserts and Baking”.Each recipe is set out over 2 pages (see picture). There is a photo of the final dish, a list of ingredients, and a box with a few comments on the dish. The method is set out in point form, going from left to right across the pages. Each instruction is numbered and accompanied by a drawing.
Honestly, what kid would not be seduced into spending a little time cooking after flipping through this book? It makes cooking so fun.
KleinR cannot cook alone yet but put her own stamp on dinner in browsing the book and choosing a meal. And then we cook it together! I adore this book (and the grownup one, too)! I always give the kids’ version as gifts to my foodie friends with kids.
