“Let’s Cook a Treat”—Children’s Cookbook Review
By Helen Drew and Angela Wilkes
A DK Publishing Book
This is a wonderful book for children and parents to work together to create and make food.
What this book has:
Real pictures of the food
Real pictures of step by step demonstration of how to make the recipe
Pictures of all ingredients needed
Pictures of the tools you will need
Pictures of the finished product
This particular cookbook has a variety of recipes for adults and children to prepare together: Fun and creative sandwiches, cheesy potatoes, pizzas with designs, a few puff pastry recipes, dipping chocolate, party beverages, ambrosias, and great looking sundaes. This book is tailored with children in mind. Let me tell you what I mean by that. For example, the sandwiches are not just regular sandwiches. They are sandwiches in the shape of a caterpillar or a boat. There is a checkerboard looking sandwich and pinwheel sandwich. This fun and creative theme is throughout the whole cookbook. It is great and cute.
The one thing that I do noticed about this cookbook is that the recipe is not clearly stated in any particular place. The recipe is on the page with the pictures of the ingredients telling you how much on that particular ingredient you need. The other half of the page shows the step by step how to in pictures and words.
“Let’s Make a Treat” by Helen Drew and Angela Wilkes is definitely a great cookbook to check out. The children that I have had look at this cookbook, ranging in age from 5 to 10 years old, all really enjoyed looking at the pictures and the step by step demonstrations.
This book gets a thumb up.
