If you’re a parent you’ll know the trials of introducing good, nutritious food to your children; but by involving them in the process you can give them not only a set of life skills, but also a pride in their creation (whatever it looks like at the finish) that will encourage them to broaden their diet.

Moreover, it’s great fun cooking with kids! and every recipe is photographed, not just with full-size shots but also with helpful step-by-step sequences.

In addition there is a section containing ‘how to’ tips on basic food preparation, as well as useful advice on safety and health.

Here’s just a selection of recipes:

Bircher Muesli • Guacamole • Kedgeree • Sushi • Moroccan Lamb • Tuscan Vegetable Soup • Chocolate Cake • Strawberry Ice-cream • Peanut Butter Cookies
