And both dishes were delicious! The recipes include lots of pictures and my primary school kids only needed a little help along the way. Having been written by an American author, I was a little concerned that this book wouldn't cater for an Australian audience and seasonal differences. Now, having read the book, I can declare my concerns unfounded! Sure, there a couple of terms that may need "translation" but other than that this book is universal."--Gardening 4 Kids (Australia) Previous Reviews for 6-Book Series "The instructions are succinct and easy to understand and are accompanied by clear color photographs and illustrations." -- School Library Journal, Series Made Simple (April 2012)
