Industry Reviews "The book is directed at children ages 7 to 12, although younger children would need help from an adult with some of the directions and some of the tasks that call for knives...children were unanimous in their praise for the clarity of the directions, the importance of the drawings and the taste of the finished product." New York Times - Marian Burros (12/20/1995)
