This review is from: Desserts You Can Make Yourself: A Children's Cookbook Age Eight Through Fifteen (Paperback)

This book may be most interesting as an intercultural novelty.

The book, wholly in English but, obviously, originally from Japan, contains a basic sketch of cooking "how to"s and sets about making Japanese riffs on American/European standards. Some are closer than others; the basic cookies look promising, the cheesecake, on the other hand, is a different beast from any I've ever seen. The final products have a distinctly Japanese look to them. The book heavy relies on liquoring up the baked items, which is odd and inappropriate given the audience.
