    What a fun cookbook for kids and families! Each recipe is inspired by a children’s story and the book includes measurements in US and UK quantities. It is divided into three parts and is so much fun to read, and try to figure out what the story that inspired each recipe is about. Kids will especially enjoy trying to make each recipe and the characters spread across the book who will help them learn to make foods, and might just inspire them to not just eat new things but read new stories!

    This is a fun and educational cook book for kids and adults to use together. I love the kitchen safety tips and the conversion chart at the beginning, as well as the explanation at the end of cooking terms. The recipes are simple enough for a child to try them on their own but are good for adults too. I'm looking forward to trying the recipe for Chinese Dumplings!

    Oh, wow, I adore this idea, because I love matching up snacks with books. This is a bright and beautifully laid out book (nice fonts and colors) with a nice mix of mains and sides, and a variety of food groups. The perfect gift for little chefs, and I'm sure preschool teachers will eat this one up (pun intended).

    Well done to the author. This would be such a fun and bonding activity to share with a preschool, kindergarten, or lower elementary child.

    "Once Upon a Plate: a culinary journey through stories for little chefs", Written and Illustrated by #authorforce is one of the best combinations of recipes and book suggestions I have ever read for incorporating the love of food and reading for your family, friends or school classroom.

    I now want to try out every recipe and read the related books with my children. Many of the recipes would easily be made for a cooking lesson by teachers in the classroom.

    Also, the illustrations are bright, engaging, and you are left feeling happy and filled with amusement as all the possibilities unfold.

    What an amazing way to interest children and adults to do more cooking and reading together!

    What are you waiting for?

    🧡 Happy Reading! 🧡

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 8, 2023

    I received an alert from one of the authors in this multi-authored cookbook about the release, and it made my day. Cooking with little ones can be tricky, but this set of recipes runs from wholesome main courses which will appeal to any eye and palate, to
    I haven't tried them all but the Deep in the ocean adventure brings to mind perfectly the Ocean Full of Wonder by Anna Smithers (if you haven't read the series - highly recommended!) and my daughter thoroughly enjoyed Puptastic Protein Packed Pancakes - it didn't matter that we hadn't read the book, just giving her the pancake made to look like a pooch was enough to make her tuck in! Another one which went down a storm was Rosy's chicken and rainbow rice - we love Rosy the bug in this household!
    The book is ostensibly organised into mains, sides and deserts and snacks but I think my copy may have been a bit jumbled up (or maybe because I'm in the UK and I count mac and cheese as a main lol), but all the recipes are very easy to follow and have introduced us to now authors and their books. I'm pretty sure some of these recipes are going to become firm staples in our family diet from now on. NB it is written in American English and thus uses some ingredients which UK cooks may not have easiest access to (for example, dark chocolate melting wafers - I think this probably is just what we would call cooking chocolate?).
    Overall, this is a really useful and fun addition to your kitchen shelves with some yummy recipes and a great way to discover new books and authors which your children might love.

    This lovely book features such a great range of recipes including mains, sides, puds and snacks all with a children’s book theme! Love that this is a collaboration for charity too. It would make a great gift for kids and could stimulate more reading for pleasure not to many a new hobby. Loved it!

    What a great book! My daughter would have loved to make all the different, child friendly and international recipes! From scrumptious snacks to delicious desserts, including important safety and conversion information- this book will allow your child to learn how to make many nutritious meals.
    Each dish is also uniquely linked to a variety of great children’s books and book characters too, providing great reading recommendations that are worth checking out too. It’s a win, win !
    Highly recommended!
