The River Cottage Family Cookbook
Reviews
Three loud, very heartfelt cheers for a book that promises children a better start in the kitchen and at table... a book to read out loud, with pictures to pore over, ideas to talk about... education and entertainment at its appetising best, a kitchen primer that sparkles with infectious enthusiasm, sets the imagination alight, engages all the senses in a voyage of culinary discovery, encourages young cooks... THE RIVER COTTAGE FAMILY COOKBOOK is in places as gripping as a detective story, it is a fount of useful information, and great inspiration for culinary action stations
A triumph... will grab the attention of younger readers, and the range of recipes is broad enough to interest more seasoned cooks, too
Recipes so simple that a child could do them, but this is not a cookbook for children; it is a brilliant introduction to making food that's suitable for everyone
A great way to learn the basics without feeling patronised... You come away from the experience not just with a tasty supper but with a better knowledge of food... comfortingly old-fashioned... will almost certainly go on my shelf of 'genuinely useful cook-books', cross-referenced with my folder of 'ways to entertain the kids at weekends'
