My First Cook Book: Bake, Make and Learn to Cook

Product Information

For cookbook authors, few things are as rewarding as knowing that their work has hit home – that the time and effort put in to creating and perfecting recipes is appreciated by those who cook their dishes and feed them to their families. Dimbleby eventually wrote ten titles for the Sainsbury’s series. “I never meant to write cookery books,” Dimbleby muses now. “I never trained as a cook. I just had this sort of food imagination, and it was a way to be creative while I had very young children. They were wonderful books. They were very thorough, and I’m sure that it was part of their success. They were also very personal.” Co-authors Peter and Kelli Bronski are seasoned pros in the kitchen when it comes to making gluten-free meals and desserts, like cornbread taco muffins and pesto macaroni and cheese. Plus, as the parents of three children, they have a wealth of experience in cooking with kids, which is apparent in the age-appropriate “Kids Can" tips, which accompany every recipe throughout the book. Other highlights include details on how to set up and sustain a gluten-free kitchen, along with other ingredient options if a particular dish needs to be further modified to also be nut- or dairy-free. If you want to give your kids a bit more control over the cooking process (still with supervision, of course) you may wonder where to start. Kid cookbooks, like the ones featured on this list, are a fantastic way to get kids excited to cook. They’re full of tasty kid-friendly recipes and simple-to-follow instructions, usually complete with pictures. There are also thousands of online tutorials for those who prefer visual and auditory learning. French food is notoriously not the simplest of cuisines to cook, but according to author Mardi Michels, “French food doesn't have to be complicated.” This book makes French food approachable for young cooks and introduces the French classics—both sweet and savory—like omelets, croque monsieur's, steak frites, profiteroles, madeleines, and crème brûlée. The introduction section includes a foreword by Dorie Greenspan, as well as a thorough French pantry explanation and essential equipment list. There are even chapters for special occasions and basic pastries. As an added bonus, this book also introduces kids to some French language basics.

It’s another Bookwagon day in our house. The kids were so excited to get their latest books in the post. Get inspired and get cooking with this first collection of fun recipes to make together by the 2019 winner of The Great British Bake Off.It’s a time Dimbleby remembers with fondness: “I feel very proud to have started the whole Sainsbury’s thing. It was such a success. It worked brilliantly for many years and it was a very happy, good part of my life, too.” Since you are here, we would like to share our vision for the future of travel - and the direction Culture Trip is moving in.
