Pizza: An Interactive Recipe Book

You know that moment when your child announces they want to help make dinner, and you love the enthusiasm but also... it's a Tuesday and you just want pasta on the table? This book is your answer. Pizza! An Interactive Recipe Book walks children through making an actual pizza, from yeasty dough right through to the toppings, with novelty features that let them physically join in every step. No flour on the ceiling. No actual mess. Just a genuinely delighted child who is convinced they are a chef.

We love it because:

• The recipe text is simple but REAL, proper pizza-making instructions that children can actually follow and understand
• Interactive novelty features throughout mean children are doing things, not just reading, so they stay completely absorbed
• It quietly builds food confidence and kitchen curiosity without anyone having to stand over the hob together
• Illustrated by Lotta Nieminen in the most gorgeous, warm, graphic style that makes it a beautiful thing to own as well as read
• Board book construction means it survives being a well-loved kitchen companion

• One hardback board book (16 pages, 203x203mm), fully illustrated in colour throughout
