Ella’s Kitchen: The Big Baking Book: The Yellow One

This second cookbook from the British manufacturer of organic baby and children’s food follows 2013’s Ella’s Kitchen: The Cookbook, presenting more than 100 recipes for baked goods ranging from snackable muffins and turnovers to party fare like foot-shaped mini-pizzas and a farm-themed birthday cake. The recipes are directed at adult cooks, but sidebars suggest ways for children to participate (when making calzones, “Folding over the dough to hide the filling... is the perfect job for little chefs”), along with activities like making chef hats or shaking cream into butter. Cartoon illustrations, photos of children cooking and eating, and a crayon-box palette should pique many kids’ interest. All ages. [em](June) [/em]
