"The Fun of Cooking: A Story for Girls and Boys" by Caroline French Benton is a delightful children's cookery book written in the early 20th century.

The book combines engaging storytelling with practical recipes and kitchen tips, making it both an educational resource and an entertaining read for young readers. The opening of the book introduces the Blair family as a close-knit group that cherishes their time together, particularly during the holiday season. As Christmas approaches, excitement builds around the anticipated arrival of relatives, and the children express concern over the heavy snowfall potentially delaying their guests. To lift their spirits, Mother Blair suggests engaging in cooking tasks together, which leads to a flurry of festive baking activities. The children enthusiastically take on various cooking projects, introducing readers to simple but charming recipes such as Christmas cakes and oatmeal macaroons, emphasizing the joy and creativity of cooking during family celebrations.
