As the mother of a 10 year old daughter who loves both cooking and social studies, I was very impressed by the authors' creativity in combining both into one excellent volume. The choice of recipes were very appropriate, from the standpoint of preparation by a child, what youngsters like to eat, and what the region is known for. What makes this kid-friendly cookbook unique, though, is the interesting information about the states that preceeds each entry. I found myself reading through the pages to learn fascinating information about the history, local customs, etc. without even needing to cook anything that day. It gives you something to pass the time while your meal is in the oven, too! Truly a great book--I highly recommend it!

I am a homeschooling mom of three. We are researching the states in geography. I saw this idea on pinterest and decided to order this book. It is exactly as described. However, I wish they had given the recipes in the description. We are from Alabama and what they listed for the recipe is not really something that is unique to Alabama. I would have expected boiled or roasted peanuts possibly. Basically something that has to do with the history or economy of the state.
As a homeschooing mom, I purchased this book to use in a study on the various US states. I like how this book combines both history and cooking in one book. The recipes were great and kid friendly however, some of the recipes did not appear to adequately represent some of the states. My 8 year old and my 12 year old both enjoyed this book and loved combining history and cooking in one lesson.
Kid friendly, and I love the introductory section detailing cooking tools. Most of the recipes can be altered to accommodate the food allergies that we have in our family. Very fun for the family to do together.
I am working with my 4-year-old son to teach him the states, and I think this book is going to be fun and helpful. The recipes all look like things our family would like (nothing really weird), and they are simple enough that he can help me cook. The facts and trivia about each state also make it more interesting. I recommend this book for anyone (child or adult) who wants to learn more about the states AND get a fun culinary experience to go with it!
We love the recipes in this cookbook! My picky eaters will eat the vast majority of the recipes which is amazing!!! I was going to research a recipe for each state but this book saved me a lot of effort. :)
This book gives recipes and fact about the United States, Children can learn to cook regional dishes and learn something about the places where the recipes came from. Linking place and food, gives the reader a sense of what grows where, a connection that is largely lost in the supermarket and processed food.
