Description:
Like the bestselling Waldorf Kindergarten Snack Book and the Waldorf School Book of Soups, this cookbook in the series provides yet another a rich resource for spending time in the kitchen with young children--this time baking bread. What child doesn't like to feel and knead bread dough, watch it rise, and then taste it fresh from the oven? Not only is such hands-on sensory experience fun for everyone, it is also invaluable to young children as they continue to incarnate into our world.
These recipes have been handed down by grandmothers, mothers, aunts, and friends. They are easy to follow and encourage the baker, young and older alike, to use the best possible ingredients, making bread once again the healthy "staff of life" it once was. The Waldorf Book of Breads includes tasty breads for the daily table and specialty breads for the seasons and special occasions.
Artist Jo Valens provides delightful illustrations to accompany the many recipes for delicious breads.
