I was lucky enough recently, to win a copy of the new book by Louise Fulton Keats,
What a wonderful
idea for a children's party cookbook.
The first part of the book contains a story of a young girl, her little
brother, their dog and their grandma trying to decide what type of birthday
party the girl should have to make it the best birthday ever- fairy, dinosaur,
space, circus, picnic or little chefs.
The rhyming text is fun to read a loud and takes the reader on a journey
through each of the birthday themes .
The illustrations are a great combination of drawings and photographs
and add to the cheerfulness of the story.
The second part of the book contains recipes for each of the birthday
themes. Ranging from chocolate meteoroids for the space party to chicken
Waldorf sandwiches for the picnic party the recipes are suitable for children
and provide some alternatives to the standard party food as well as some
regular favourites. There is also a
party cake or cupcakes suggestion for each theme.
I would definitely recommend getting this book if your child would like
to help you plan their next birthday party.
Bear and Bee were both entranced by the story and keen to look through
the recipes and choose something for their upcoming 3rd birthday. We aren't having a big party this year - I
think we will go with one every 2 years.
But grandma and grandad are coming to visit so we still have some guests
to prepare party food for. Bear has chosen the Raspberry jellies and Bee wants
to make the Star biscuits. Keep a watch
out for my next post on these two recipes.
And a great big happy birthday to my two princesses.
What party food does your child like to help make?
