Cookery book for 6-8 yr olds that is not all cakes?

DS(6) and DS(8) used to cook loads but they've rather lost their cooking mojo recently. I was thinking that an attractive cookery book full of pictures might help re-enthuse them. They've cooked all the 'I Can Cook' recipes to death. Lots of kids cookery books seem to be mostly cakes and puddings, which is okay but I want them to do useful ordinary cooking, not just sweet things. Absolutely ideally, it would be vegetarian, because we are but that's probably impossibly picky. Any recommendations please?

We've got this Annabel Karmel one, so far dd1 has made a tagine and we're planning meatballs next Smile

Great, thanks both. The Annabel Karmel one looks good. The 'first cookbook' one at a quick glance I worry that they might say ' but it's not our first cook book' and feel that it was beneath them as (relatively) experienced cooks, but I'll investigate it further.

I got ours in The Works for £2.99 or something if there's one near you Smile
