If You Like... Baking

By
As a young baker, I was always excited to find new recipes to try out or to connect with other baking fans. If you have an aspiring baker as well, here are some books they might enjoy.

Naperville, Illinois : Sourcebooks eXplore, an imprint of Sourcebook Kids, 2019. Informational. 224 pages.

This book is great for bakers of all levels. Just look if the recipe has one, two or three chef hats to know your level. If you're still learning how to read a recipe, the beginning pages will teach you some common words used in the baking world.

Somerville, MA: Candlewick Press, 2023. Informational. 67 pages.

Any fans of the Great British Bake Off will be excited for these recipes from the 10th season winner. Some of these recipes will challenge your little baker and allow some creativity in their bakes, while others will be great for a baker of any experience.
