I think the sound bite says it all....YES...I am addicted to this set.

 It's so realistic! The wooden pieces are held together with velcro and you cut them with a wooden knife. It's just brilliant! They also have one that has thin slices so you can put together a sandwich. My daughter absolutely loves "taking orders" at her cafe and whipping up a deli sandwich for mama. There are seveal versions including fruit, pizza, desserts. I'm not a fan of plastic food (or plastic toys in general, for that matter).

 

We inherited a bunch of these sets from her older cousin so I didn't have to shell out for all of them. I did ,however, go out and buy all the other sets once I fell in love with the initial ones. They are just so worth it ( and addicting, really) You will find yourself wanting to play "make believe" with your kids ( er..and even without them).

Ours have been around a while and are still in terrific shape so if you have more than one child, or have someone in mid to pass them down to, invest in these sets.

Wooden toys are such classics...my mom still has a wooden alphabet snake puzzle from when I was little stashed for my kids. Nice review!
