This is quite innovative and an excellent way to motivate young people in the areas of math and food science. I would add that a side benefit would be to introduce some elements of safe food handling—hence food safety along with it to encourage them to develop the habit of food safety as they make those delicious foods. If alternative recipes could be created it would also help entrench good and nutritious food habits—win-win for the future generation of food scientists!

In reply to Christine.

yes – especially the patterns or fraction chips – great exposure! And the kindergartener could help measure ingredients and stir . . .

What ages is this book appropriate for? Would a Kindergartener get it, or is it for older kids?

Oh, I love this! I work at the public library and just sent the link via email to get it ordered. Might have to buy a copy myself. Thank you for finding this gem!

What a great way to make math fun! I can see this would be great fun for fractions too! Did it taste good too? It looks delicious!

Looks like so much fun while learning and especially getting to eat the end product.

This would be a sure winner here where we love to bake. And what kid wouldn’t love to be encouraged to play with their food (and slip in a math lesson at the same time)?
