'[…]a lovely and great first book of baking and cooking for kids. It’s certainly a book I would have loved as a child and the interesting mix of recipes including hummus, sushi, biscuits, breads and all sorts of tasty dinners using that magic tomato sauce, really makes this such an appealing book and I can’t wait to try out the recipes even though I’m an adult. The illustrations in the book are brilliant too, making each recipe look more engaging and I love the mix of happy children and adults who accompany every page. It’s a great book to get for kids who are interested in getting involved in the kitchen, or it might even spark interest for some children who aren’t so keen.' The Strawberry Post
