‘A great way to learn the basics without feeling patronised ... You come away from the experience not just with a tasty supper but with a better knowledge of food ... will almost certainly go on my shelf of “genuinely useful cook-books”, cross-referenced with my folder of “ways to entertain the kids at weekends.” ’ Time Out

Reviews

‘Three loud, very heartfelt cheers for a book that promises children a better start in the kitchen and at table ... THE RIVER COTTAGE FAMILY COOKBOOK is ... a fount of useful information, and great inspiration for culinary action stations’

Phillippa Davenport, Financial Times

'Recipes so simple that a child could do them, but this is not a cookbook for children; it is a brilliant introduction to making food that's suitable for everyone'

Independent

'A triumph ... will grab the attention of younger readers, and the range of recipes is broad enough to interest more seasoned cooks, too.'
