Kids in the kitchen
Tarla Dalal, the well-known cookbook author, was in Pune on April 11 at Crossword, the bookshop, to launch her latest book 8211; Cooking With Kids. This book is the first of its kind, being by the children and for the children.
At the launch, a couple of recipes from the book were demonstrated, no, not by Dalal, but by two children aged 12 and seven. The book contains more than 50 recipes, most of which do not require the adults to fuss around; they can leave the job to the young 8216;uns. Priced at Rs. 230, the book is sure to occupy a prominent place in the young, enthusiastic cook8217;s collection of precious items.
