Review Detail

The Great Britain Baking Show winner gives us a collection of recipes for children to explore during the holiday season. It gives them great ideas for gifts like shortbread trees, reindeer bark, a variety of cookies to choose from, and more. In the beginning of the book, David Atherton introduces things you should keep stocked in your pantry for the holiday season along with an equipment list to keep on hand. He also teaches how to make your own gift boxes for the delicious treats.

This would make a great Christmas gift for aspiring bakers and chefs. It's also a way for them to feel like they're contributing to parties or the presents. Holidays can bring stress, but this book can be a great way to channel that. The formatting is stunning and I love the layout of everything. There are cute illustrations for each recipe and there's something for everyone, even the picky eaters. The steps are easy to follow and clearly laid out.


Final Verdict: I would recommend this to children aged six and older who enjoy baking. This is a inspirational cooking book to get them even more excited for the holiday season. It can be a great Christmas gift or a great way for children to occupy themselves on the holiday break. It also enhances their bond with their parents because this is something they can enjoy doing together, like my daughter and me. My daughter loved the Mini Chocolate Logs and this book brought a smile to her face along with a trip to the store.
