About the Series

‘Cook with Me’ invites the reader on a fascinating and fanciful trip into the world of flavours, science of nutrients and history of recipes. 

This imaginative formula helps the child engage with and relate to food in a way that builds healthy eating habits bit by bit over time but sustainable throughout their lives. Each book has a triple aspect in its flip-over version that creates two books in one volume.  A path positioned at the end of the recipe brings the child to an unexpected turn of ‘events’ in the path. The child then turns the book upside-down to discover the science behind the recipe. 

• In the first section the children travel in time and space to discover the origin of the recipe.
• The following section sees us preparing the tantalising recipe together. I share some little tricks that my Cordon Bleu teacher showed me while introducing the reader to some nutritional information in ‘bite size’ easy to digest bits!
• The third and final part is my personal favourite: a special guest is introduced. This is the nutritional element who speaks about his or her history explaining to the children its role in food and teaching them the importance of a healthy and balanced diet.  

The books are a fun-filled and joyful experience for parents to bond with their children while both explore food through cooking together. Primary Schools can use the series for Cookery Clubs or regular hands-on sessions that prepare children for the more elaborate tasks awaiting them in Secondary School and beyond. The English version offers a tool dressed up with a lot of fun for a basic knowledge of the English language. All recipes have been tested by my own two chief tasters, my two lovely children!
