Sir Chocolate and the Baby Cookie Monster Story and Cookbook
Book 2 of Robbie Cheadle’s Sir Chocolate series features Sir Chocolate and Lady Sweet in a hunt to find a lost baby cookie monster. As well as the story, we learn how to make a selection of delicious recipes, including Easy Sausage Rolls and Chocolate Butter Icing.
I bought the paperback version of this charming children’s book mainly because the Kindle format of picture books rarely reproduce the images satisfactorily (though to be fair I didn’t look at the ebook version, so can’t say for sure). The story is in rhyme and tells of the search for the missing Baby Cookie Monster, including a trip in a chocolate cake car and characters such as the Vanilla Fudge Bird.
The pictures of all the edible characters show up well and compliment the story. The recipes too, are delightful and are laid out in a way that makes them easy to understand for young kids.
Robbie Cheadle started writing these books when her son Michael came up with ideas for the characters. Robbie’s website is a great resource for cooks and kids, as it includes videos of some of her other recipes as well as tutorials on fondant art and mouth-watering images of the World of Sir Chocolate. Too yummy indeed!
This is a great review, thank you! 🙂

Well, this is an interesting review. I was expecting a “mystery” review from you… this sounds like a lovely book.

I think it’s important not to get too stuck on one or two genres, and it also means people who might not otherwise see my posts might pop by for a look.

Yes, I agree. We go through phases with our reading, so it’s nice to see something different from you. I just came across a lovely book called, “Brush of the Gods.” https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15927545-brush-of-the-gods
