In my family, we're suckers for anything Sesame. This cookbook has a wonderful layout and bright, colorful photos of the food.I've read through the whole book and I appreciate the variety in foods as well as ease of preparation. The longest recipe has 8 simple steps, with the vast majority of recipes having 4-5. There are a handful that even have just 2 steps!This would be a fantastic first cookbook for a child who is curious about what their parents do in the kitchen. Special kid-friendly steps are highlighted so adult and child can prepare a meal together.I have a toddler who will eat anything, but I see this cookbook possibly helping those children who are a bit pickier. There are no super fancy recipes or offensive ingredients. All the ingredients are ones most families keep in their pantry or are easily accessible at any grocery store. No weird ingredients that are only found in specialty stores!I gave this cookbook 5 stars because I very much appreciate when cookbook authors make note of good alternatives for a recipe, such as substituting one fruit for another. I feel like I'm getting twice the amount of recipes and I get more ideas on how to change up a recipe just slightly.
This has to be the cutest cook book for your little one. I bought this for my almost 4 year old who LOVES Elmo. The book is like a story with recipes. It will provide you with many options for breakfast, lunch and dinner with snacks! Everything is pretty simple and most recipes have simple ingredients that you may already have in the fridge or pantry. Also, the book encourages the child to help participate in the cooking process. Letting my toddler help has made him want to try new food. This may be the case since he was the one who 'made' the meal. Either way I love this book!
Calls for basic ingredients you probably already have on hand. Ingredients list is written in order of usage so you can concentrate on helping your little helper help! Instructions are written in a clear way, easily grouped so when in action, it's done simply. End products are appealing to eat for the average toddler. Great tips on cooking with little ones. Healthy foods representing alphabet. Highly recommended.My only complaint is that the paper is a bit thin. The cover and ring binding are great, though.
Mother's day eve, this book arrives at our door and I excitedly grab it and my son and we sneak into the living room to plan my wife's mother's day dinner. The next day we go grocery shopping and pick out all the ingredients. We prepare the food together and finally sit down to eat as a family. Pleasantries etc are exchanged and we dig in. A few quiet moments later, my 5 year old says "This food is yuck." and the silence is broken, he ust said what we all thought. Yuck indeed.On the plus side this book is nicely laid out and organized, each step is flagged with steps that a child can accomplish with supervision so its a great activity to plan and do together. On the flip side, the food is awful. Granted, maybe we screwed something up? But we made 3 dishes from this book for dinner and they were mostly awful. Bland and unappetizing. The mac and cheese was somewhat acceptable, I might make that again but sub some ingredients that have a stronger taste. The baked beet roots had to be baked for almost twice the recommended time and even after that they weren't quite fully cooked, also an unpleasant mix of flavors. The chicken nuggets were simply awful... tasteless though the chicken itself was pretty juicy and cooked through (so the cooking time was accurate for that one).I now have 4 giant packed lunches that I'm going to have to eat this week because no one wanted seconds or leftovers.4 stars for the appearance layout/content, -1 stars for the recipes. Weighted average 2.
i was looking for healthy food options that i can give my 1 year old. he isn't old enough to cook yet, but it is exciting to keep this book until grows up. the author's foreward provides good tips for encouraging kids to eat fruits and vegetables. Make sure you read it from beginning to end. Each page has a picture - a must for me as a intermediate cook. So happy i made this purchase - we love cookie monster!!!
Great food ideas! My kids were totally swayed by the Sesame Street friends to try new things. My only complaint was that the pages were very thin and fragile. I can see my kids easily damaging the pages. I think should have been more durable since specifically made for kids but may not have been as affordable.
There are 50 recipes in this book and each one contains at least two steps that a child can safely and easily accomplish. They are divided by course and feature a specific character from Sesame Street on every other page. Icons, suggested variations, preparation times, ingredients, and equipment are listed for each recipe. Tips, educational tid-bits and activity suggestions appear frequently throughout the cookbook. There is a believable mix of tried and true toddler favorites and "dare-to-dream" recipes to tempt your child to try. All of the recipes have beautiful, full-page photographs. All of the recipes are healthy and stress whole foods.
I'm loving this cookbook. I've debated about whether or not to buy a kid's cookbook: I mean, why can't I just use my regular recipes with the kids. But this book has brought in creativity and yummy foods. I love that each page the author makes suggestions on what steps the kids can do and what we (grown ups) should prepare. I know that I can figure it out on my own, but as a parent of two, it's nice to have to not think about everything once in awhile ;-)My kids are 4.5 yo and 21 months. We love the rice and tuna balls - as they get a chance to get their hands messy and try to roll the balls. They also enjoyed the texture of the sesame seeds. It's a combination of cooking and sensory experience! We've tried various recipes and they have all been tasty, experimental, and fun. I'm really glad I got this cookbook.
