I almost did not accept the offer to review this book, because my two youngest children are 19 (and presumably not the target audience for a cookbook for kids). Honestly, though, after reading through the book, I think the title is misleading. If this is indeed intended as a book for kids, I think it may have missed the mark.Directions: Range from almost pedantic ("Always wash your hands") to assuming a level of prior knowledge and skill that is probably beyond most. While there are some illustrations and photos, I think more would be helpful to support the skills and techniques being taught.Recipes: Many of the recipes seem to cater to a fairly sophisticated palate. (Potato-Gruyère Tart? Minty Avocado-Melon Mix? Most kids I know would be suspicious of the names alone.) It's an interesting assortment of healthy and delicious-sounding recipes, but I just don't know that it "works" for the intended audience.Ingredients: Haricots verts? Niçoise? Anchovies? Mine wouldn't be able to pick those out of a line-up. Some recipes call for specialty items (cheeses, vegetables, spices, fresh herbs) that one would not typically have on hand (and may not be readily available at some markets).Tools: I have a very well-stocked kitchen, but would have to specially purchase some of the tools needed for these recipes (such as a citrus reamer, zester, mortar and pestle, and melon baller). I suspect most typical household kitchens lack at least some of these items. The recipes also require several types of cookware and bakeware, an assortment probably not available in most homes.
