Although this is a cookery book aimed at children who are able to read it themselves and follow the simple recipes provided with minimal adult supervision, there are still plenty of good reasons to bring it into an early years setting. It’s not that the dishes included are particularly original or exotic – it’s all pretty standard lunchtime fare (sandwiches, soups, salads and, of course, rice crispy cakes) – but the friendly, concise instructions and bright images styled to show the reader exactly what to do, rather than demonstrate how marvellously artistic the photographer is, are great for adding an element of literacy to age-appropriate cooking activities. Tuck in!
