Get Set Ready And Go! - Cookbook

A Cookbook for Children, or any new cook - Ages 6 - 106
 
Do you wonder how this cookbook came to be? Maybe it started when I was a young girl and my mother asked me to cook a simple pudding for supper. She was sure I would know how to make pudding. With some help, I got it made but I made sure I wrote down the recipe and put it where I would find it next time. Now my own daughters are teaching their children to cook and bake and they have often told me that I should put together a cookbook for children. Now I’ll have to let you in on a secret. I’m not one of those cooks who seem to live in a magic kitchen where everything I make turns out perfectly. No. Sometimes my cakes are the wrong shape; there is a valley in the centre instead of a hill. My cookies are too flat or hard and my casserole tastes funny because - oh, I don’t know - just because. Probably I didn’t read the recipe quite right. That is one reason I wanted to make this cookbook. I wanted to put the recipes down so they would be a little easier to understand and be simple but good. I hope you will enjoy trying out these recipes. Many are from other young cooks. The smell of fresh cookies baking and then serving a plateful to your family is a wonderful feeling. Happy baking and cooking to all the young (and not so young) cooks!
