Book: Zig, Zag, Braid

The book is designed to help children cook on their own: The illustrated steps are easy to follow even for children who aren’t yet confident readers. The recipes use ingredients commonly found in Swiss households, so there’s little need to buy anything extra. The notes section makes the book useful beyond simply following the recipes, as children can jot down their own variations. It’s ideal for families looking to introduce children to the kitchen step by step—from breakfast to morning and afternoon snacks, all the way to dessert.
