Cookery for children has never been easier! Following an introduction to the type of food, each book in the series features eight step-by-step recipes. Each recipe has a brief introduction and approximately six steps. Steps are illustrated by specially commissioned full-colour photography so readers will be able to see exactly what to do. There is also an extra information panel for each recipe. This is used to provide further details on the science, history, culture or cookery technique used or linked to the recipe.

Recipes start with simple cookery techniques such as mashing and chopping and progress to those that are more complicated, which may need adult supervision, such as baking and boiling. By the end of the book, readers will be budding cooks!
