Baking with kids

Linda Collister's "Baking with Kids" is the ideal book for any parent who is keen to teach their child about food and interest them in cooking from an early age.

Her clear, step-by-step recipes are written for children and the point at which an adult's help is needed is clearly given.

Chapters included are Teatime Favourites, featuring recipes such as Cherry Berry Buns; Big Bakes - where you'll find delicious ideas like Fresh Raspberry Streusel; Breads, which offers easy recipes for freshly-baked rolls and loaves; Savoury Snacks include Giant Cheese Straws; and in Puddings, there are treats for the whole family, including Ricotta Cheesecake and Sticky Toffee Pudding.

It features lovely photographs of children baking by leading photographer, Polly Wreford.

Educating children about good food and cooking is currently a very hot topic.
