'Annabel Karmel - You Can Cook is a delighful, colourful book to entice the children into a world of cookery. The book is very well written, using simple terms and step by step instructions on how to make various dishes. The book identifies cookery untensils and equipment, fruit and vegetables and healthy eating. Recipes included vary from boiled and scrambled eggs to risotto primavera. There are 4 sections of recipes: First Steps, Light Bites, Main Meals, Sweet Treats. There is another section on Techniques which covers how to prepare ingredients and ways of cooking. There are recipes for pizza, pasta, meat, fish and vegetables, cakes. The book is very colourful with photographs of fruit and vegetables making it all look very tasty. Each receipe is very easy to follow in clearly numbered steps. I would say that the book is aimed at children who are aged 7 and older, but they would still need assistance with boiling pans etc. I would recommend this book as I think it would grab a childs attention as it is so brightly coloured and easy to follow'
