Cooking Up a Storm: Watch as your wooden spoon turns into a magic wand

You are looking at the first cooking book in CAPS LOCK. Together with our mischievous characters, the girls Vita, Olja and the cat Didi, learn why cooking is so fun and creative. Rock the kitchen while preparing 21 delicious dishes! Follow the recipes and with the help of photos, prepare delicious breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and snacks all by yourself, without the help of your parents.

The book also has tips for simple games that you can play with your friends while cooking. Pay attention to the buttons on the side, which include interesting facts about the food you are preparing.

You can also include your own recipes into the book and thus create unforgettable memories of sweet childhood days.

Cooking equals fun. And what could be more entertaining than turning your kitchen into a play area? On one hand, you need to follow recipe steps closely, and on the other hand, you can constantly play with different flavours and textures. Cooking activities are also packed with opportunities to learn while playing.

These types of activities spontaneously develop 4 sets of skills. Children strengthen their motor skills and communication skills, especially when cooking together with other people. The kitchen is an ideal training ground where children can strengthen their ability to solve problems and learn to improvise. Since it’s the children that need to put together a shopping list, get the ingredients they need and then prepare the dish according to instructions, their organisational skills also develop.

To all the parents that are already worrying about the cuts and bruises, as well as mountains of dirty dishes – do not fret! Put your unease away into the deepest kitchen drawer and shut it tight. Let your little chefs whip up some magic and surprise you.

Seven-year-old Vita, four-year-old Olja and our cat Didi tested the following recipes. We created this cookbook because our first-grader Vita wanted to dive into baking and cooking, but we could not find any cookbook that was written in capital letters, which Vita could read by herself.

Now it is time to roll up your sleeves and COOK UP A STORM!
