New Vegan Cookbook for Kids

BUC News

Five years after publishing her first cookbook entitled 'Kirly-Sue's Kitchen', author Susanne Kirlew who is a Christian and regularly attends Walthamstow Seventh day-Adventist church in London has new stories to tell and fresh recipes to share in her new book.

Cooking With Kids features over 70 memorable dishes representing the best of Susanne's creative dishes for kids. Published by the Stanborough Press Ltd, the book contains tasty easy-to-follow recipes illustrated with stunning food photography and recipes. 'Cooking With Kids' reveals a glimpse into the inner workings of her approach to plant-based meals for children. There are some time-proven favourites, inventive new ideas and contemporary twists on multi-ethnic dishes from around the world.

Susanne's faith has inspired her desire to create healthy recipes. She explained, "My faith inspires my cooking because the Bible says in 1 Corinthians 6:19:-

"Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own."

So, I believe it is important for believers to eat healthily as they can and my cookbook can help with that."
This 182-page book is more than just a cookbook, Cooking With Kids is a testament to Susanne's conviction that anyone can cook tasty vegan food − with the right mix of creativity, persistence and innovative thinking. This book is a personal journey with Susanne, featuring some of her favourite dishes, anecdotes and the sources of her inspiration. It is an indispensable guide for any parent who wants to cook not just for, but with their children.

Commenting on her book Susanne said, "Vegan cooking for children is easier than you think, in this book you will find simple and easy to follow recipes, using ingredients that are easy-to-find and are probably in your kitchen cupboard already. I am excited about my book that will help parents make plant-based meals for their children. In addition, children can make the dishes along with a parent or guardian. This book can be viewed as a recipe book that you use daily or a book that you can use all the time."

In addition to the new cookbook, Susanne has a new TV series coming out that is based on the cookbook that will begin production in the spring of 2020. The series will have 10 episodes that will be broadcast in the UK, Europe, USA, Caribbean and Africa.
