solid recipes that outlast the kids
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
An added bonus to this book is Marion Cunningham's great recipes. Although the children are grown, we all still turn to her pancake recipe and baking powder biscuits. And to the reviewer who literally judged this book by its cover, the line drawings are more multi-cultural, and, quite frankly, it is always better to judge a cookbook by its recipes than its cover art.
A REAL cookbook for children

Your kids won't just be playing in the kitchen making faces out of fruit and cookies, they'll really be learning how to cook with this book. They'll be making real food, that you'd actually want them to eat, and that you would like to eat too. Definitely follow the age recommendations, it jumps right in with knife work and using the stove. Highest rating possible from my family.

I first bought this book 10 years ago and still we are using it's recipes. I've read a lot of Children's cookbooks and this one is the best. All recipes are small enough that you could have 4 children in your kitchen all making the same complete recipe. Each recipe is simple and easy to make and they taste great, making it a great confidence booster. It' a wonderful teaching curriculum for those of you that want to teach a class or your own children. I even recommend this book to adults that need a little confidence boosting in their cooking skills(many of which were never taught properly). I've bought many copies for gifts for different age groups. I have taught cooking classes to children and adults alike, catered, and am now a food and beverage consultant to 4 restaurants, bakery and catering service.
Cooking with Kids

My son has always loved to cook and make his own concoctions (pickles, yoghurt and raw red peppers for a snack!). This is a great book to use with kids. Other suggestions are CLUELESS IN THE KITCHEN, great for teens. And for a fun look at Fannnie Farmer, who was so influential in American cooking, try FANNIE IN THE KITCHEN, a charming picture book about a young girl who learns to cook with Fannie Farmer. Delicious illustrations!
Excellent teaching tool, Helping Parents getting started!

As I looked through many children's cookbooks, this is the only one that gives you a curriculum on where to start. Giving you basic recipes Children will need for their entire life. Having 4 Children of ages between 8-10, we found the recipes very clear, simple to make, and to the taste buds of young people. After one week of classes, the children had developed good habits and had a good understanding of basic cookery.
