So i thought Id come to you lot :wave:
Hope you are all well, havent had the time to look in much here these days
Just thinking about buying something for our nephew.
he was the worlds fussiest eater ( literally biscuits only!) but now hes making some tentative steps to cooking himself his diet has varied loads :T He doesnt live near us otherwise Id have him over all the time to cook!
So, Im looking for a really good cookery book, that he will be able to learn with over a bit of time. Hes 10 now, so it cant be the "rice crispy cake " variety.
Any ideas??

I think the River Cottage Family Cookbook is excellent; it isn't just for kids but there are excellent explanations about the food types, what happens to the structure of the food etc when it is cooked, and it would make him feel very grown up. I got mine for £8 from whsmith online - free delivery to your local store; I tried to check the current price for you but their site isn't loading; hope this helps though!That's Numberwang!0

Have just checked whsmith; they are listing it as £20 so I will add that Amazon have them for £12 .. then again Ebay might come up trumps ...That's Numberwang!0

Sam Stern - Teenage Cook
Excellent series of books from what I've seen of them so far and very easy to follow forany child or adult learning to cook

I've bought my DGS (13 yo) the Usborne Beginners' Cookbook, through The Book People, for Christmas. It's lovely, and his Auntie was so impressed that she asked for a copy as well! It's loaded with full-colour photos and gives each recipe step-by-step. Lots of helpful info, such as that they tell you a pie will cook through from the bottom better if you stand the pie dish on a baking sheet rather than straight on the oven shelf, and the way to chop an onion!
(Oh, and I need to say that I have no connection with either Usborne or The Book People except as a customer!)

Hi there, just rushed off to the kitchen to check our shelves & found these 3 - Amanda Grant - Kids Kitchen - Mitchell Beazley
Usborne first cookbook (covered in blobs of food mixture, so well used! In fact, I can tell the favorite recipies from that - just look for the most stained pages)
My Fun to cook book - Ursula Sedgewick - Hamlyn.
The last one is falling apart!!
HTH
love Suzi xx0
