Lots of other reviewers have described the recipes. I posted some example pics of the pages. What I actually want to comment on, as an artist, mom and avid Disney fan, are the illustrations, which I LOVE. I looked at each page just so I could look at them. Whoever did these illustrations needs to be promoted to head of the Disney Princess product art department! They are very well done, and very true to each princess' movie look. I couldn't stand Disney's extreme "makeovers" on all the princesses, where they glammed them up by not only giving them more makeup and fancier hair and clothes, but also changed their bodies and faces, making them taller, skinnier, paler, older and vapid.* But in this book, the princesses look just like they did in the movies, very cute, more "real" (as real as a cartoon can get) and down-to-earth, with some personality. Love it!Also, the men are shown cooking too, which is great!*[...]and[...]
Disney went above and beyond on this one. I have seen princess cookbooks that were very basic and not a lot of thought put into them.This cookbook not only has recipes that kids can cook but also adults. It has the CUTEST little ideas based on your favorite princesses and kept in theme. My two daughters just love picking a recipe based on their favorite princess and it has been written in the sense as if they have recorded Merida's favorite dish, there is even a story based on the dish and WHY it is Merida's favorite as well as the other princesses.It has many more pages than I expected.Big bright colorful pictures for each recipe, there were even a few things that I am curious to taste.I love that they have ratings on the skill of cooking required for each recipe.They also have combined a few recipes at the end of the book which are supposed to be eaten together if you want to create "Ariel's Favorite Picnic Lunch", or "Rapunzel's Favorite Breakfast" etc. SO creative.There is a section for appetizers, entree's, desserts, drinks, and snacks.Very well Don Disney. The best I have seen so far. Hope that they keep creating things like this I just love it. We are WELL impressed!
Book came nicely packaged. We already made few recipes and they were all delicious.
My 8 year old chose this over some other kids' cookbooks we were looking at. She loves the princess illustrations, but I appreciate that there is an actual photo of each recipe (not just a cartoon, like some other kids' cookbooks). We have only made a couple things so far - the chicken strips and a cucumber salad. Both were really good! Everyone in the family loved the chicken! The recipes seemed pretty unique, but simple. If only we had one with Anna and Elsa's recipes too! (o: I like the ideas for meals you can put together combining recipes. Having it spiral bound would make it even better!
I bought this book for my 23 birthday, yes I am 23 and love all the Disney princesses. I wanted to give this book a try because I had never seen anything like it before. I was impressed by what it had in it to cook. It has a few hard things to cook and a few very easy things to cook by what level you are at cooking. I really liked "Mrs. Potts's Raspberry-mint Iced Tea, and "The Beast's Quiche" and I also liked the "Savory Shepherd's pie". I also can see way more that I want to try out like the "Sun Punch" and "Snow White's Apple Dumplings". I put a photo of "The Beast's Quiche." I had mad in this review. I hope this was helpful to everyone looking at this book.
This has cute ideas, and has some healthy options. Also, my daughter has nut allergies, and there are lots of options we can still make.
I love to cook and as a result so does my 3 year old. She is always wanting to help in the kitchen. I didn't have a lot of recipes that were easy enough for her to help at almost every step of the preparation process. This cookbook, while a little bit too simplified has lots of easy and surprisingly flavorful recipes that a child as young as 2 can help with. We loved Tiana's meatloaf, Belle's baguette is a really good and almost fool proof bread. I even made Rapunzel's Sun Punch for my daughter's 3rd birthday party. This cookbook would also be great if you have a princess loving, picky eater. It is way easier to get them to at least try something new if you can tell them it is a princess's favorite dish. And if they don't believe you you can show them colorful illustrations of the princesses cooking various dishes. What I love best about this cook book is that you can plan a week night dinner, a princess play date, full on party or Sunday brunch for you little princess. It is versatile and even exposes them to different cuisine based on the princess's heritage. The Magic Lamp curry went over well with my daughter but was complex enough in its flavors it also made my husband happy.
I bought this for my daughter because she is a picky eater. She loves going through and picking out what we should make for meals of the week. Even if she ends up not liking it, she at least tries it because it's one of the character's recipes. Also, there is quite a bit of culture included in the book. Best of all, the recipes I have made so far have been absolutely delicious! And easy!! Great cookbook for any ages.
