Here’s the best present my little daughter has ever received.

Well done Aunty Mairi, who posted this book over from Scotland for Minnie the Minx’s fifth birthday.

It is a huge hit, and here’s a recipe from it that she makes with great joy.  Most of the boys liked these mini pizzas too, but not so much with me as I am well aware that pastry is not my friend.

But for the kids, carbs are the go and these cute mini pizzas provide them with a serve of veggies too.

I’ve just had a search and have found the book on sale at Fishpond.

It’s available also from Amazon.

So I’m off to buy a couple of copies as we have some girls’ birthday parties coming up.

Do you have a little fairy who loves to cook?
