Jolly Good Food: A children's cookbook inspired by the stories of Enid Blyton

Fantastic book! It almost works as a time traveller. Taking you back on a beautiful nostalgic journey. I had gifted it to my daughter who is just 7 years and she could bake and cook from this cookbook with ease. It's just so perfect!

Took me back to my childhood. But many ingredients are difficult to find in India

Being a hard-cover Enid Blyton fan I pre-ordered this book. If you are one too, I suggest you rather rely on the magical memories and come up with a recipe yourself. Somehow the book just kills it for you. Also the illustrations are so Quentin Blake which again gives it a half baked, half hearted attempt feel to it. Disappointed. Enid Blyton recipes deserve more than this.

Happy with condition of book. Really, good for basic recipes you can do with children.

Fun book for my 5 yr old who LOVES cooking

Wer wollte nicht schon immer mal gerne mit den Fünf Freunden picknicken, oder im Internat eine Mitternachtsparty mitfeiern? Mit Jolly Good Food wird dieser Wunsch war. Das Kochbuch ist unterteilt in mehrere Buchreihen von Enid Blyton. Zu jeder Buchreihe gibt es einen Beispieltext zum reinlesen, und dann die passenden Rezepte. Von geräucherter Makrelen - Pate auf selbst gebackenen Brot, über Eiersalat - Sandwiches und Cookies, bis zu selbst gemachtem Ginger Ale.Hier ist für jeden Geschmack etwas dabei, damit die Kinder die Gerichte aus ihren Lieblingsbüchern nachkochen und probieren können. Das Buch ist liebevoll illustriert, und die Rezepte sind kindgerecht beschrieben und erklärt, und enthalten wichtige Sicherheitshinweise, so, daß beim kochen nichts schiefgehen kann. Von mir eine klare Kauf - Empfehlung für alle großen und kleinen Blyton - Fans.

This really is a brilliant book. The stories are so new for my grandchildren (nostalgic for me!) and the recipes are well written and easy for the children (and me😁) to follow. Really pleased with this purchase.

This isn't bad. But a little disappointing. When people talk about the Enid Blyton books of their childhood, almost without question, everyone talks about the food! A lot of writing has been done on the food mentioned in Enid Blyton's books! And everyone could list off their favourites.Does anyone remember smoothies featuring in her books? No? Me neither. Nor "rainbow veggie skewers" or pop cakes. Of course, a lot of the food mentioned in her books was simple things like ham sandwiches, tomato sandwiches, etc. which don't need recipes. And some simply wouldn't go down to well these days, like pressed tongue or potted meat.There ARE however lovely recipes for Ginger Beer (lashings thereof), lemonade, gingerbread, jam tarts, sausage rolls, jam sponge, treacle tart, scotch eggs, and others. And it's a children's cookbook, so nothing is too difficult. So, all in all, a little disappointing, but definitely worth it for the recipes that are there. Just keep in mind those words on the cover "inspired by" the stories of Enid Blyton, and don't expect faithful reproductions of recipes of the period.
