The panel agreed that this book is an exciting way to introduce mini chefs to the endless tasty possibilities of cooking with vegetables.
The brilliant hand-drawn ingredients really bring this book to life! A great way to expand your vegetarian repertoire when ideas are running low.
A great introduction to vegetarian cooking for children and a useful addition to the kitchen for families looking to go meat free. Fun, simple and tasty looking recipes for all ages to enjoy together.
Absolutely fantastic! A beautifully illustrated family cookbook with a great selection of vegetarian recipes. Perfect for cooking together as a family and very engaging for young children to interpret too. A brilliant present for any budding young chef and to encourage togetherness in the kitchen.
