Explore the Usborne Start to Cook cookbook!This is a fantastic beginning cookbook! Besides including a great variety of practical and fun recipes, it introduces your young cooks to good practices in the kitchen and the basics they can build on.
Check out the cookbook on the shopping site Here are a few recipes you can try out. I've chosen recipes with ingredients you are likely to have around the house for simplicity's sake, but there are many more to explore in the book that will expand your pantry! *A note about flour: these recipes call for self-rising flour. If you have only all-purpose flour at home, simply add 1tsp baking powder and 1/4 tsp salt for each cup of flour the recipe requires. |
Fruit smoothiesThese are simple but fun! And the variety of recipes will undoubtedly spark the imagination of your young cooks. What else could we try...?
