Based on a lifetime’s experience creating child-friendly recipes, Annabel Karmel MBE has put together the most fun and accessible first cookbook ever – it’s a great way to get young children involved in the kitchen.
Recipes include Monster Pizzas, Sticky Chicken and Teddy Bear Pasta, plus lots of tempting, easy-to-make treats like Banana and Blueberry Loaf Cake and Oreo Brownies. On the way, children will learn essential hands-on kitchen skills, from simple sandwich making all the way to cake baking.
