Kids' Kitchen: Good Food Made Easy (Mitchell Beazley Food) - Tapa dura

Each recipe in this book teaches a different technique or cooking method. Through a recipe for pancakes kids will learn how to make batter; through a recipe for meringues they'll find out how to whisk eggs; through a recipe for fruit tart they'll discover how to make pastry; and through a recipe for curry they'll try out dry-frying spices. All the classic methods of cooking are taught too - from grilling and frying to roasting and baking. Recipes are divided into sections called From the Sea, From the Mill, From the Garden, From the Farm, From Afar and From the Wilds, to help kids understand the origins of food from an early age.
