The River Cottage Family Cookbook (edició 2005)

My granddaughter spotted this humongous cookbook at a book sale on bag day and snaffled it for her book collection. It was probably the best deal of the day. It's a great cookbook, not just for kids, but for anyone who is part of a family. It explains things about British cookery. (Victoria sponge cake, called pound cake in the States, is made of equal weights of eggs, sugar, butter, and flour -- and it has you weigh the ingredients, starting with your chosen eggs as the measure!) It also has fun activities that might use kitchen ingredients but are not strictly cooking. I wish I had known about this book sooner! ( )

Wow did I luck out!! Found this for $6 at a local discount store. This is a delightful family cook book. Full of all kinds of kitchen projects as well as the hows and whys of kitchen science. The organization of the book is smart. I will be sure to have this one for years to come. We will certainly be making more butter, homemade sausage, and jellies. ( )

This has been a fantastic book to read and cook from with our kids. My son is obsessed with cooking everything from scratch, thanks to this book. ( )

Quite possibly the best and most versatile cookbook EVER, for all ages - don't be fooled into thinking it's mostly for kids - you'll love it as much or more than they do. Beautiful photos, realistic dish appearances, superb explanations, fun add-on projects to enhance enjoyment and learning. Great quality, highly recommended. ( )
