I Want to Be a Chef: Baking

The cavalcade of television programmes focussed on travels to foodie destinations and on celebrity chefs and learning to cook has inspired a generation of young people to head into the kitchen. Not for them the archetypical ‘kids’ food’. What they want to cook and eat is what the professionals are showing them. And, by mastering a few simple techniques, many seriously ‘grown-up’ items are well within their grasp. In I Want to Be a Chef: Baking, the aim of the game is spectacular cakes, desserts and cookies and light-as-air sweet and savoury pastries. Making meringues, sausage rolls, fruit tarts, cupcakes, iced cookies and a whole lot of other treats is achievable with clear instructions, step-by-step photography for some of the trickier techniques and beautiful images of the finished items. With more than 100 recipes to choose from, ranging from simple to show-off, young chefs will be baking just like a professional maybe with a cooking show on television, too!
