As Jamie Oliver says in a note to grown ups at the end of the board books in his new Little Food Library, getting kids excited about food and cooking from an early age will help them develop a crucial life skill. These board books are a delicious way to do just that, as well as giving mums/dads/grandparents a lovely way to enjoy something tasty together, either snuggled up on a chair or even in the kitchen.
Lift the flaps and you’ll find out what to do with them, ‘glug glug’ the olive oil for the pasta, ‘crack crack’ the egg for the pancake. Design and illustrations certainly make each food item look good enough to eat, the flaps are a lovely size and very sturdy, and these tasty little books are a great way to expand children’s vocabulary too. Yum yum!
See it, say it, cook it, eat it! A first recipe in a book from the world's best-loved chef. Every page of this sturdy board book features a new read-aloud word to see and say. Then, lift the flap to follow the action: mash the banana, squidge the butter . . . In five simple steps you'll have made apple crumble cookies. Mmm mmm!
Designed with the youngest cooks in mind, this revolutionary new series introduces recipes that are easy to make and tasty to try.
Jamie's Little Food Library has all the ingredients for healthy happy little cooks everywhere:
First word format with age-appropriate words to learn and foods to try
Interactive board book format with fun flaps to lift
Jamie Oliver started cooking at his parents' pub, The Cricketers, in Clavering, Essex, at the tender age of eight. After leaving school he began a career as a chef that took him to the celebrated River Café, where he was famously spotted by a television producer, and the Naked C hef was born. During his 25-year television and publishing career, Jamie has sold over 50 million books worldwide, and his TV series are watched by millions of people around the globe.
Through his campaigns team, and working alongside youth movement BiteBack, Jamie is on a mission to inspire and enable more people to experience the joys and benefits of cooking and eating nutritious, sustainable and balanced meals. This desire to make food fairer for all sits at the heart of Jamie's company-wide goal of creating a happier, healthier world through the joy of food.
