DS is getting quite into cooking and baking especially since watching Junior Bake Off. But he has some executive function problems and really needs step by step photos of all the ingredients and equipment. Anyone seen a cookbook that might suit him?

Thanks Flowers

This sounds bonkers and would require careful supervision, but Tiktok is fantastic for recipes and you do literally see it step-by-step.

PS I know I can Google it and I have done, but am finding it hard to find any I can see inside to check how the recipes are presented and obviously I can't go browsing due to lockdown! So after recommended ones that people actually own so can guarantee the step by step photos and ingredient list photos :)

I have this bread book that might appeal if he likes Bake Off? It's got other baked goods in, not just bread, and has loads of pictures for each recipe but not quite like the book in your imagination! Written for adults so may need a fair bit of support but it's a brilliant book that I've cooked loads from and it's all been great www.amazon.co.uk/Step-Step-Bread-Demonstrates-Technique/dp/0756692660?tag=mumsnetforu03-21

My 11 yr old like "Cool Kids Cook" by Jenny Chandler.
It's not veggie, but they give you one recipie, and then several variations on it.
Example:Soda bread.
Pic1:recipe
Pic2: pictures of each stage
Pic3: variations and serving suggestions.

The Tilly Ramsey book is lovely. My two have made lots from there.

I've seen both these used with adults with learning disabilities. They might well suit your purpose

CutsOffCorners · 03/02/2021 18:45

I've seen those two @tickledtrout but you can't "see inside" so I can't tell how they show the ingredients etc!

The DK one looks pretty ideal though thank you!
