A review by the_librarian_witch
The Secret Cooking Club by Laurel Remington
4.0
This was a totally delicious middle-grade children's book about family, friends, blogging, baking, supporting each other and, of course, love!
And can we just take a second to look at that cover?
How yummy is that?!
You'll definitely be craving all kinds of cakes and bakes as your munch your way through this heart-warming book.
Best to just keep a slice of cake to hand at all times really!
Could somebody please write the lovely recipe book that features in this story?
Fantastic recipes based on fairy tales and nursery rhymes complete with hand-drawn illustrations?!
Yes please!
Some of my favourite recipes mentioned in the book are:
Peter Piper's pepper pasta.
Pat-a-cake flapjacks
Knave of Hearts strawberry tarts.
Princess and the pea soup.
Georgie Porgie's banoffee pie.
I only wish there were more actual real recipes in the book for us to try out ourselves!
We're given the recipe for fluffy cinnamon scones, but unfortunately nothing else.
With a book filled with this many delicious bakes it would be lovely to be able to try out a few more of them in real life!
However, the story was delightful.
The friendships formed were lovely.
And the whole thing made me very, very hungry indeed!
