Omari’s Best Bites Cookbook offers easy recipes by a young chef. This fun colourful book is sure to get young people into the kitchen (a few recipes are deep-fried so use an air-fryer, have parents supervise, or omit).
Note foods to avoid giving to young children (not just nuts, but also nut butters, salty foods and choking hazard foods like peas, celery, carrot sticks, fruit pips, hot dogs etc). Learn first aid for choking incidents. Before cooking, read food safety for people & pets (many human foods are unsafe around animal friends).
Recipes include:
- Go-To Energy Smoothie
- Happy Hummus
- Rasta Pasta
- Rice n Peas
- Zingy beetroot salad
- Plum & blackberry Crumble
- Strawberry Coconut Cheesecake
