Kids Can Bake: Recipes for Budding Bakers

Description for Sales People:
Illustrations provide children with a sense of what a dish will look like, which helps to avoid disappointment when their version doesn't come out looking exactly the same. Plus, of course, although cooking is a science, dishes always look slightly different every time they are made.
