Starting from Scratch – What You Should Know about Food and Cooking
By Sarah Elton
I received a copy of Starting from Scratch for the purpose of this review. Now that you all know that…where should I begin? This book has everything a child might want to know about food and cooking. The who, the what, the when, the where, the how and the why of everything. This book was filled with so much information that even I was interested and could not put it down. From our taste buds to meals around the world! Your child will also learn about all of the different utensils in the kitchen, why we use a recipe and why it is important to make things from scratch. This book will teach them what it means to broil, grill and braise, how to set the table and then how to clean it all up!
This is truly one of the most in depth childrens books I have ever read. This is a book my 8 year old loves because it is teaching her the basics that she has always wanted to learn! Two years ago my husband and I started letting her pick out a recipe each month and cook it by herself. Of course I am there to help where she needs it but it has given her a real sense of accomplishment. I can also say that there have been some horrible meals…but she is learning! 🙂
On The Back
Starting from Scratch is not a cookbook. It’s a book about food – how it works, why it works,, and what you need to know to make the kitchen your playground.
What a delicious idea!
