Authentic Italian recipes designed for young cooks to master

This newly designed edition celebrates the 10-year anniversary of the beloved children's cookbook adapted from Italy's most influential cookbook of the last 50 years. With a fresh, easy-to-use layout, this collection brings authentic regional Italian dishes within reach of future chefs, chosen by a nutritional specialist for their simple instructions, achievability, and balanced nutrition.

From classic margherita pizza and rigatoni with meatballs to minestrone soup and focaccia bread, each recipe is presented with charming specially commissioned illustrations by Harriet Russell that are both funny and eye-catching while effectively conveying cooking instructions. The bright, tempting photographs of finished dishes and lively layout make this book as delightful to browse as it is practical to use.

Written by Amanda Grant, a specialist in children's nutrition and cookery, the recipes are specially selected for children's abilities and explained in clear step-by-step instructions. This approach strikes the perfect balance - childlike but not childish, neither intimidating nor patronising - making it an ideal introduction to the joy of Italian cooking for budding chefs aged 10 and over.

Suitable for children aged 10+ years.
