    Hugh Fearnly-Whittingstalls 'Family Cookbook' truly excellent for novice cooks
    Love many, trust few, learn to paddle your own canoe.

    “Don’t have children if you can’t afford them” is the “Let them eat cake” of the 21st century. It doesn’t matter how children got here, they need and deserve to be fed.

    I might end up buying all these for myself and turning into a fantastic cook at the age of 62.
    But I doubt it! :D

    A couple that my lot borrow from my shelf:

    1. The Be-Ro book :D
    2. Delia's complete cookery book
    3. Good Housekeeping cookery book


    I don't have the Be-ro book, but I've been using Delia's Complete Cookery Book since it was published, and my very battered Good Housekeeping cookery book is the 1976 edition, and I have used it every week for one thing or another.
    Better is good enough.

    I'm not sure about the other supermarket magazines, but the ASDA one always has a 'Cooking With Kids' recipe. I'm sure that Tescos, Morrisons and Sainsbury's do the same sort of thing.

    Check to see if they have 'online copies' of their monthly magazines.

    Cooking Up a Storm by Sam Stern

    978-1844287741

    published 2005 when Sam was 14 and currently £6.99 at Amazon



    I'm a school librarian and this is a great book - full of the sort of recipes that teenagers like to eat. It is written clearly and sensibly and lots of good pictures. Written by a teenager for teenagers but good for anyone learning.


    The Usborne book "for children" mentioned earlier is also excellent but I found that teens think they are too grown up for it.

    Another vote here for Hugh's book. We bought this for our youngest and she went on to food to GCSE level!
