Kitchen Princess: Search for the Angel Cake Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Najika is a teenage girl with an extraordinary talent for baking. While catering
for a party for a fellow classmate, she discovers her friend's grandmother was a
friend of her deceased parents. Najika's parents, before their tragic accident,
promised the grandmother that they would recreate a cake that the woman had
tasted in her childhood in another country. Now that Najika's parents are gone,
she is determined to find the mysterious cake recipe for the old woman. The
only problem is she is left with so little clues.
Kitchen Princess: Search for the Angel Cake is a companion novel to the Manga, Kitchen
Princess, so therefore if a person has not read the series, it could be quite
hard to understand the story plot. The story is also Japanese, so readers must
keep in mind the cultural differences that differ between the East and the West.
Getting past that, this was a lighthearted, absorbing read that made me want to
jump up onto my feet and start baking. In between chapters, there were easy
instructional visual directions on how to make desserts that were prepared in
the book, including a scrumptious Angel Food Cake that I made myself! This
book would be for a younger age group (9-11) and does not have complicated
vocabulary, but it kept me thoroughly interested.
