REVIEW

The Official Fablehaven Cookbook shares recipes that go along with the Fablehaven series. As soon as my kids saw this book, they wanted to try the recipes especially since it went along with one of their favorite book series. We started with Muriel's Pretzel Knots. I made it with my son. I did put a little less flour than it said in the recipe. With the elevation changes, you'll want to judge the amount of flour based on the feel of the dough. My nine-year-old son made it on his own as well, but he followed the recipe exactly and they didn't turn out very well. I did like that he was encouraged to try and bake from this book. My seven-year-old daughter and four-year-old son have made the fairy toast recipe several times. I've also made Grandma Larsen's Sugar Cookies twice and they were a favorite with my kids. I loved that the recipe book is very kid friendly and that my kids are excited to make the recipes. After seeing their excitement, I felt like this was a good early cookbook to start kids cooking and baking. This book was a hit in our household, and I would recommend getting this book for your family to try. To learn more, click here.
