Opening sentence
There's something so powerful about being able to cook.
A book full of easy to follow recipes, great to use with children, created by Buddy Oliver (chef Jamie Oliver's son). Families can choose a range of recipes from this book, from breakfast/brunch through to dinner and some sweet treats.

Not only are there recipes, but also some skills (such as making pesto or pasta sauce), safety (such as how to hold a knife) and healthy living tips. Each recipe has a colour photo that matches the recipe, to make it easy to see the finished meal or treat, and decide which one to make.

This hardcover book would be a super addition to a budding chef's library.
