Review Quotes:
"Charity Mathews has done it again, and I think this is my favorite of her books so far! Edible Crafts brings her signature organization, practical tips, and gorgeous photos but serves them up with a huge helping of fun and whimsy that I know will invite the most reluctant chefs (young and old) to make the kitchen their new favorite creative spot. I appreciate how well-thought-out and approachable the instructions are, and LOVE that this book includes intentional space for notes. As a person who has always marked up the margins of my cookbooks, this encourages the youngest readers to make this book their own." --Virginia M. Lozuke, Montessori educator and blogger
