Fairy Cooking - Rebecca Gilpin

Fairy Cooking With a few family birthdays on the horizon, Little Miss, naturally wanted to do her bit for the tea parties, so knowing how she enjoys cooking, this seemed an appropriate starting point for the occasions. The book itself is produced by usborne, so having bought Usborne books before, I knew that it would be good value and that the “makes” would be child appropriate. Naturally, being on an almost permanent pink fest, the front cover was instantly appealing to Little Miss- what more could a little lady want…this is a pink book featuring cakes and fairies!

A few weeks ago at a local table top sale I spotted a seller with a pile of Usborne books for sale. The books were priced at 20p each! Not one to turn away from a bargain I bought most of the books.

If your little one is starting to take an interest in cooking and baking then I would thoroughly recommend the Usborne Fairy Cooking Book.

This lovely book contains 16 recipes for children and adults to do together. These range from a variety of desserts such as cookies, biscuits, mousse, muffins and cakes, to a couple of savoury options which include shaped sandwiches and cheese scones, to sweets such as fudge and marzipan toadstools. The book is well laid out with a double page for each recipe. There is a list of ingredients, a photo of the finished product and then a series of simple steps to complete the recipe. Every step has a picture next to it to show kids how to do it. It's all really easy to follow. This isn't for kids to do by themselves, unless they are at least 9 I would ...  Read the complete review
