Summary/Back cover:
At Christmas time, kids will enjoy making these mouth-watering treats. From delicious Christmas tree ice-creams to Santa Strawberry hats, from traditional mince tarts to a giant gingerbread house. With simple illustrations and easy-to-follow steps, little chefs will have hours of fun in the kitchen.

Review:
A lovely range of recipes (20 in total), some are no bake, others are quite complex. Step by step illustrations and lovely photographs of the finished products as well as packaging ideas for gifts. Steps that require adult assistance have that clearly marked, usually ones that require cutting and heat. Both metric and imperial measurements. Full of helpful tips to make baking easier, there's even a template for the gingerbread house. Nice hard cover book with hidden spiral bound pages so the book stays open nicely on the page that you want. I can personally vouch for how tasty the Stained-Glass Biscuits are as we made these for Christmas Presents, they went down a treat! I think this is a book that we could use for years to come, and not just at Christmas.

5 out of 5
