Firstly it has to be said: I love Usborne Books - always have, always will - I was born loving them. All their books in the range of Little Books are quite literally worth dying for.

Well here comes a double bonus, you may have noticed a predilection towards cook books, specifically kids cook books on this site. Well here is a little kids cook book from Usborne Books - Oh! How heavenly.

Here we go - a cook book for kids, with real food recipes in it, healthy meals that they love because they chose them and because they come from their very cute cook book!!! I have a feeling some of these recipes may not have stood the short person taste test… but considering their origin - not from me, but from the book! they were gobbled up with glee.

These are the recipes that we have conquered (get those tummies rumbling first thing on a Monday Morning).

Couscous Salad - yum;
Spanish Omelette - yum, yum;
Tomato Salsa - yum, yum, yum;
Vegetable Risotto - yum. yum, yum, yum;
Vegetable Crumble - yum, yum, yum, yum, yum;
One-Pot Chicken Casserole - (I use this recipe a lot, especially for visitors,when I need something a bit more than pizza);

Moving on…

Mini-Meringue Nests;
Raspberry Profiteroles (My kids can never resist these in any cook book!);

I left Hood #1 and Hood #2 alone with this book and they did a fine job, I was secretly thrilled that they didn’t go straight for the desserts but they actually made meals.

Hood #1 produced a very fine Bacon and Onion Quiche:

Hood #2 managed a really good Creamy Chicken Curry:

And finally Hood #1 can never resist strawberry shortcake - and I mean never… he saw this photo and went the distance with the recipe from this book - it took a while, it was quite a lot of work (!) but with the goal clearly in sight he made it:
