| Post subject: | Baking book idea for a pre-teen |
Emma has requested a baking book for Christmas. She's beyond the age of a "kid's" cookbook but she doesn't need anything too advanced (yet) - she will turn 11 in 2014. Any recommendations? We're thinking something with clear instructions and lots of color photos would be appropriate, possibly by a chef that she eventually will have heard of (but not Nigella). What say the experts? thanks, P & K Somewhere at sea |

But seriously, the King Arthur Flour Baking Companion covers lots of recipes and it's not too fussy. |

Probably will shop Amazon on Thursday (Internet time is too dear before then). Keep the suggestions coming! |

I missed the "baking" part in the title.  Not necessarily a kid's book but am intrigued with Yvonne Ruperti's One Bowl Baking and that might work for her. |

Anne Willan has done a series of "look and cook" books, not necessarily for kids, and at least one of them deals with baking. I just checked Amazon-the titles include Classic breads, Pies and tarts, and Chocolate desserts. I like these books, even with all of my experience. |

Kris recommends: Your Time To Bake is aimed at rank novices. Kris hasn't used it, but has heard good things. There used to be a Joy of Cooking For Kids, which was excellent, but you'd have to hunt through the used bookstores for it. Also in the out-of-print camp is Fearless Baking. She also recommends the author Abigail Johnson Dodge's The Weekend Baker. |

I bought some for a friend's dad when he had to suddenly take on the cooking in the house and he loved them too. I'd forgotten about them....must start looking for my boys. |
