Cooking With Coco Family Recipes to Cook Together Cooking With Coco Family Recipes to Cook Together, ISBN 9780701184889 and books by Anna Del Conte on sale at thebookshelf.co.nz Coco is Anna's 11–year–old granddaughter and her tireless helper in the kitchen. From a very early age, Coco showed an interest in food and cooking – Anna would sit her down with a spoon and a piece of bread or a clove of garlic, and Coco would watch and imitate. Anna taught her to smell and taste food, and soon enough Coco was able to start really helping, progressing from decorating cakes to making pasta to conjuring up her favourite tagines. Taking us from the simple dishes of the early stages, through to more complex cooking for older children – by way of meatballs, Coco's first biscuits, lamb with couscous and sweet ricotta pancakes – and illustrated with beautiful photographs, Anna brings us the best of all the recipes they have cooked together. She emphasises the importance of passing on basic skills, knowledge about seasonal cooking and the ability to find the best ingredients. But Cooking with Coco is also a record of memories and time spent between Anna and Coco, and an inspirational reminder of how exciting food can be for children and how much pleasure families can have together in the kitchen. Written by a grandmother for all the bright and eager – and sometimes mischievous – faces around her table, Cooking with Coco is a book for anyone who wants to teach a child about food and introduce them to simple, healthy and delicious cooking.
