Funny stories and real recipes for little cooks · ages 4–8
…there is a kitchen with no walls, a stone oven and a long wooden table.
Pie dough tears, oatmeal boils over, a radish bites. Every mistake turns into a discovery.
Every story ends with a real recipe, with grown-up steps clearly marked.
Book 1 · Summer baking
Eight funny stories. Eight real recipes.
Deep in the forest, under the old oak trees, Benny the bear cub runs a very special cooking school. Pie dough tears, blueberries sink, and rain spoils a picnic — but in Benny’s kitchen every mistake turns into a discovery.
Book 2 · Winter
First, a breath. Then, a step.
Winter has come to the forest kitchen, and nothing goes to plan. The oatmeal boils over, the gingerbread house falls down, and a blizzard hides the path home. Little by little, Benny’s friends learn to stay calm and find a way.
Book 3 · Spring
If you don’t know — ask!
Spring has come to the forest kitchen, and Benny the bear cub and his friends are planting a garden of their own. A hungry tummy croaks like a frog, a radish bites, a spring stream turns into a robber, and a tiny squirrel reaches for the blender. Every time, someone asks a question — and gets an honest, safe answer.
Book 4 · Summer camping
We are guests of nature.
Three days by the river: a tent, a campfire, fishing — and a lot of mistakes! Lily packs a backpack that won’t close, Finley builds a fire in the wrong place, and a grumpy raccoon visits the camp. With Bruno the beaver, the river keeper, the friends learn to do it right.
