A scrumptious collection for anyone who loves good healthy food and an occasional indulgenceafter-school snacks, things on sticks, cakes, slices and dinners, a boiled egg to slip into your pocket for later.
Many recipes are naturally gluten-free or vegan, all are delicious.
Alexandra Tylee is the owner and chef at Pipi Caf, a little pink house, cottage garden and pizza trucka place to celebrate eating together and taking pleasure in small things.
Sometimes you need a layered cake, a crispy roast chook, a popsicle for breakfast...quite often all you need is an egg and a spoon.
Egg and Spoon is for children and adults. Tylee trusts children to choose flavours and handle equipment in this joyful book that will set them on a lifetime love of healthy cooking and eating. Giselle Clarksons illustrations are scrumptious and subversively playful.
What I loved about this book was the discarding of hard and fast rules. Cooking is likened to a wonderful journey of discovery; finding what works for you. What an amazing lesson for children to learn! * Kids Book Review *
