A few months ago some friends of ours came over for brunch and brought Ge Ge his first cookbook. It’s the Williams-Sonoma Cookbook for Kids, and it’s quickly become one of his go-to reference manuals. Whenever he’s helping me with dinner, he flips to the back sections, which has diagrams of basic kitchen tools, tips and techniques and basic recipes for fundamentals such as biscuit dough, pizza crust and sauces.
“Mommy, are you sure you’re doing it right? Maybe you need to check my cookbook before you start.” We are all amateur experts in this house, apparently.
