From the first part of the kitchen tales you learn how the most conceited teapot becomes the nicest and friendliest teapot in the world. Of course the tea cups, garlic press, cake-server, kitchen sponge, and not to be forgotten, the leftover chocolate sauce, also play their part.
In the second part of the Kitchen Tales we can read about how the Bashful Frying Pan started to sing for the first time. Why did he break into a song all of a sudden? What did the Haughty Teapot say, and what about the garlic press and the cake-server? Were they also surprised? Read the tale!
(review request submitted by the author for an honest critique)
The Bashful Frying Pan was read by me (40+) and my daughter (11). Below are our thoughts on the story.
We love to have music playing while we cook. It makes dinner prep go by in a snap! Therefore, we enjoyed watching the kitchenhelpers get into the groove. Adorable!
The overall storyline was cute. We didn’t have issues with it, but we did have some with the illustrations and dialogue based on the book’s recommended age level (3 – 12) and grade level (P – 5).
In my opinion, the illustrations were more geared for pre-k or first and second graders. My eleven-year-old thought the images were a bit creepy. She didn’t think kids her age would read this book.
We also agreed that not many younger kids would know some of the words as in their meaning, or pronunciation: (examples) ratatouille, exquisite, unprecedented, and haughty. She didn’t even know what haughty meant and, again, she’s eleven.
We’d still recommend this book to parents who have siblings in the 3-12 age bracket. The older child can help the younger sibling read and learn new words.
In the third part of the Kitchen Tales you will learn how the Kettle In Love has succeeded to win the heart of the Haughty Teapot.Remember, it’s not just anybody. He has to conquer the Haughty Teapot!!! It was also necessary for the spider to give good advice, with a lot of ingenuity and patience, until he was successful.I will not reveal the details, read the tale!
Cecília began writing stories and tales when her children were born. As the number of her children grew, the number of tales increased as well. The children discovered that it was great fun to invent new stories and tales, thus her older kids write and illustrate tales. Cecília’s smaller children only test stories. Since their name is Watercastle in English, they publish their tales under the name Watercastle Tale Works. The parents live with their five kids in Hungary.

I loved reading the recipes and checking out the colorful illustrations in Be a Superhero in the Kitchen! It’s perfect for all budding chefs. I love that there are 20 recipes, including main dishes, side dishes, breads, desserts, and even a beverage. I love the helpful tips for young cooks, and all the cautions necessary for cooking. Fun recipes that almost every child will eat (especially if they are helping to prepare the meal). One of the goals of the author is to try and get picky eaters to eat (after helping make the food). Though veggies are minimal, there are many little tips included that say, “You might try adding…” (other veggies or flavors). Way to go! Get cooking!
This is a terrific book to get a young person interested in cooking, and how to have fun in the kitchen. I bought an author signed copy as a birthday gift for my grandson.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good cook book
I showed this book to my niece who plays with her kitchen set. She started doing a demo of all the dishes mentioned in the book. Colorful display, super hero themes really were too good. Picture books mostly interest the kids a lot. I recommend this book to all who are new to cooking and all parents who have kids.

Be a Superhero in the Kitchen is my first children’s cookbook, but I strive to publish more.
