My children love looking through this book with me, there is so much to see from photos to illustrations and stunning, less conventional shots of the food too. It’s all you could have hoped for, from the more predictable rocky road and chocolate birds nests to the more obscure speedy brûlée and strawberry shortcake tartlets. With five fabulous recipes, you’ll be whipping up cakes that are just as sublime as a Mary Berry creation.

With 80 pages to look at, all bursting with adorable illustrations, our five-year-old tester was captivated in the magic of the different stories, and because of the spiral bound design it was easy for her to flick through the pages. Our favourites have been “Little Bo-Peep’s lost sheep popsicles” and “The Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe’s shoestring chicken noodle soup”. Rustling up a meal together – or if they’re old enough allowing them to cook independently – is the perfect way to get children interested in the food they have on the plate. Bestselling author Jane Dunn shows you how easy it is to bake every day with her simple treats, foolproof cakes, and comforting savoury bakes. This is a book every family should have on their shelf, not only as it’s the perfect shelf size, but as it’s packed with over 100 recipes so you’ll always have delicious inspiration at your fingertips.

We've selected some of our favourite baking books for children designed for a range of skills and abilities. It also gets them learning about nutrition and the task of cooking and we found that they were more inclined to try different food if they’d been involved in the preparation process. That's why we're working every day to be a better business and put little futures first, from the products we make, to the campaigns we launch and even the things we ask Government to do.

Added words of culinary insight are included from the likes of Ivan Orkin and Brian MacDuckston of Ramen Adventures. From earthy to spicy, and from tangy to creamy, this book showcases how to bring out the very best flavours in whatever you create. By empowering young chefs to make their own choices in the kitchen, America's Test Kitchen is building a new generation of confident cooks, engaged eaters, and curious experimenters. This book really opens your eyes to a more wholesome world, with recipes spanning from simple smash spuds to cooking fish in newspapers.

Recipes can also be difficult to follow as an adult, so having books clearly designed with easy to follow steps is of huge importance.
