I was looking through quite a few books before settleing on this one. For my two boys I knew I needed pictures at least of the dish and a clear discription. I also found that other recipe books were packed with treats and snacks what I really didn't want nor need.There is a list of ingredients (which makes it easy to check if you have everything) and a list of toolsThe recipe is then divided into steps , and again subdivided for easy reading. There is a photograph of pretty much every other step that depicts other children cooking the dish at those very steps. At the end there are suggestions for easy variations which is awesome because some kids just might like different ingredients and it stretches the 25 recipes to quite a few more.The recipes are healthy, basic but with a great variety.So there should be something for everyone. Great buy! Great book! Definately a keeper.
I got this for my 6 year old who loves to cook. His favorite "cookbook" is the WS Baking book so I figured this one would be an easy transition to a wider array of foods. This cookbook, like the Baking book, is easily read by my son and makes really delicious foodstuffs. The proportions aren't huge and the end product is flavorful. I especially appreciate the culinary education that WS tries to impart to the kids as they cook and bake. The only negative comment I have to make is regarding the Ultimate Ham and Cheese Sandwich recipe--the Gruyere cheese is not a favorite among kids (cheddar can be used in its place). Bottomline: This book successfully encourages kids to get involved in the actual cooking of their food as well as enjoying the end product...without having to make food look like cutesy animals or insects, like so many ridiculous kids "cookbooks" do.
"Fun Food" showcases twenty-five thoroughly 'kid friendly' recipes for beginning chefs ages 8 to 11 with clear, step-by-step, fully illustrated directions for easy-to-prepare recipes that range from such classics as macaroni & cheese; chicken noodle soup; sesame fish sticks; and spaghetti & meatballs; to veggie dishes for young vegetarians including stuffed baked potatoes; spring peas with mint; roasted carrots; and sauteed green beans.
My 7 year old daughter loves to cook. She has the Emeril Lagasse Kids' cookbook and we have cooked many recipes with much success - tasty and fun, but not too time consuming. The Williams Sonoma cookbook is also another winner. Plus, there are plenty of pictures for the kids to be inspired by. This cookbook has a good variety - snacks, breakfast foods, lunch and dinner, along with desserts. Everything we have cooked has been tasty and fun to prepare!
Love this cookbook!! Has great basic recipes for kids without relying on condensed canned soups and other 'junk' foods.
My husband and I bought this for his 9-year-old sister, and it's been a hit. We loved the variety of recipes (including ideas for modifying the featured recipe), the beautiful pictures, and the fact that it makes children's cooking more interesting than cutting a PB&J sandwich into funny shapes. We'll buy a second copy for ourselves very soon - and we don't even have kids yet. We also recommended it on our cooking/restaurant review website!
I bought this cookbook along with a couple of others for my 3 sons to start helping me out in the kitchen and learning some basic cooking steps. It has lots of step by step pictures which are helpful. The two older boys (ages 10 and 8) use it more than my 5 year old, who tends to pick meals out of the cookbook with more cartoon looking pictures. The book contains all meal and snack recipes - no dessert, which was fine with me because I did buy two other cookbooks which offer plenty of dessert ideas. My 10 year old does pretty well making a meal from here with a few questions. I still help out quite a bit with my 8 year old. They all love to have their own night in the kitchen though. It's lots of fun.
i bought this cookbook for my son (who is 6yrs old) last month as a gift.we both love it as its step-by-step instruction are so easy to follow and the fact that the book are loaded with colorful vegetables makes it so yummy to eat without having to "hide" them.its a keepsake!
