Matilda and The Ramsay Bunch: Tilly’s Kitchen Takeover

Good quirky recipe book for children wanting to get more confident in the kitchen

My 9yr old son has had this book since Christmas and hasn’t touched it, then this week he decided he wanted to be a chef 🤷🏼‍♀️. We chose 5 recipes and bought all of the ingredients (which seemed like a lot but we now have it all for next time and my food shop was cheaper than normal somehow). So far he’s made the Japanese chicken noodles and spare ribs and I can honestly say the sauces that he’s made are soooooo nice. I couldn’t believe how good they both were and he even said “mum this is like posh restaurant food”.

I have a lot of cookbooks but this one is perhaps the best of the lot. I bought it to encourage my young son to get involved in cooking and as soon as it arrived he went through it and listed the meals he wanted to make. We have made 3 recipes today - it only arrived this morning - and they have all been great. It's full of easy, no fuss food which appeals to adults and children. It's well written and has great photos too. Well done Tilly Ramsay, this will be a family favourite.

The cook book was bought for our granddaughters (aged 12 and 15) to encourage them to do some cooking over the summer holidays. It looks like a fun cook book, with illustrations, anecdotes and helpful hints that should appeal to young teenagers. The layout is quite funky, not your usual 'illustration and recipe' format. It was a recent purchase, so no feedback yet from the granddaughters, hence the 4 stars

I gave this to my nine year old Great Niece for Christmas. She loved it, along with her Star Baker personalised pink apron. She’s successfully made several of the recipes including a lasagne, which I think is brilliant for a nine year old.

Lovely book bought for teenager who likes to cook. Well laid out and easy to understand without being condescending. So far the rainbow cake (not quite the 20 layers that Tilly does but a modified version) has been made. I'm sure there will be plenty of others recipes in the book that will be gracing our plates in the not too distant future.

Bought for my 7 year old who loves the programme! Loads of easy recipes to get little ones into cooking and even helps the big ones like me who definitely aren’t a Ramsey!
