By teaching kids basic recipes that can be adapted in endless ways, this book is the perfect launching pad to finding their way around the kitchen--or launching their own cooking careers.
So my son who loves to read, also loves to cook. So when I saw the opportunity to try out this cookbook. We were for sure on board. We tried a couple different recipes and plan on trying more. I will continue to post when we make anything out of the book because it's fun!! I loved how easy the book is to read and the recipes are for him to follow. Plus it just taste good!
So here is a little taste (ha sorry I love puns!) of when we made the pizza. Which even though ours came out looking a little weird, it tasted AMAZING.
Have to prep your ingredients
This was the first time either of us was going to use a dough hook. As strange as that sounds, it was pretty exciting in our house.
Following the directions
This is after we let the dough rise. Then we needed to form our pizza portions.
So our first attempt. We learned some valuable lessons of what not to do. Like next time, prep the pizza when it's on the pizza stone already. I don't have a giant pizza spatula to transfer it.
This one came out more like pizza bread. Again these attempts still tasted amazing!
Just like the picture right???
