How does this book have only 29 reviews? It is fantastic! Got my 11-year old son to the grocery store with me to buy ingredients, which he got on his own while I picked up a prescription. He chose to make the lemon meringue from the back of the book. We both learned along the way (I accidentally had us over-whip the meringue and it came out lumpy) but enjoyed doing it.The bulk of the book is a loose story line of wizards being assigned different specialties (the one assigned baking feels like it will be boring and not very magic-y) with the logic of baking practices laid out—different methods of mixing similar ingredients in different ways to achieve certain characteristics, as well as things like how and why gluten forms. What makes it so engaging, I think, is that the main character starts out clueless, like us, but ends up more confident, like us. (Also every ingredient, even the molecules of ingredients, have little adorable faces and can speak)It’s a fairly quick read, packed densely enough that I wanted to read it bits at a time over a day or two. There are only ten recipes, but nine of them are carefully discussed in the within the comic itself.They are not little-kid basic recipes, they are regular cookbook recipes that will need help and supervision. (I also appreciate that the book points out the need to wash your hands before cooking anything.)Now my other son, a 9-year old, has picked it up and is picking out a recipe.All around, a great confidence-builder in the kitchen.
