Kids Chef Bakes: The Kids Cookbook for aspiring bakers.

You see l love cooking with my kiddos and I hope to one day get around to writing a cook book for children that would make Nigerian cooking and cooking/baking in general so simplified that they would be quick to jump into cooking. So you can imagine my excitement when a blogger friend Lisa of snappygourmet.com asked me to review a cookbook she wrote for kids. Kid Chef Bakes: The Kids Cookbook for Aspiring Bakers

Easy Lemon Loaf Cake

This book has loads of yummy recipes and easy step by steps to follow along. Lisa’s tips and troubleshooting sections on each recipe make it even easier. Did I tell you I am a cook book junkie and this book is colorful and pretty to look at.

When I got a copy I flipped through it with excitement. The children were not left out of course. We decided we would make the lemon loaf cake.

Well let me say I guided then towards the lemon cake because for a long time they have been asking for a lemon cake and now they had the opportunity to make one they were heading other directions because the kids chef bakes book had too many other delightful options.

    I love to cook with my oldest daughter, my youngest helps sometimes but has no interest yet. We love to bake cookies and pies, her favorite being peanut butter cookies and any type of custard pie. We also enjoy making tacos, burritos and enchilada’s together (those are some of her favorites to eat so she really enjoys helping make those). She loves to be with me in the kitchen and I love having her there I also know that if she helps to make something she is more likely to try it (she has High-functioning Autism) and I have had her try everything from brussell sprouts to spinach, by having her help in the kitchen. (She found out she loves beets because of a recipe that I found that used them, she helped cook it and then tried it, now beets are one of her favorite foods, but no she still doesn’t like brussell sprouts or spinach (unless the spinach is creamed).
