This book is great! My family and I are from southern Louisiana and New Orleans and I was pleasantly surprised to see how authentic the recipes were. There are a mix of real louisiana food recipes and cutesy kid recipes relating to frogs and such (such as cupcakes decorated to look like frogs). I think its totatally worth buying.
I've always enjoyed cooking with my kids, and I've bought my fair of kids' cookbooks. Movie tie-in aside, this is a great cookbook, featuring recipes from New Orleans, where our Disney princess resides in the midst of the jazz age. There are pictures of each recipe, the print is large and simple (easy for the budding chef to manage -- whether he or she is eight or thirty-eight). In addition to photographs of each recipe, the movie's characters appear throughout the book.I love New Orleans and Cajun cuisine, and there's a fair representation here -- from the classic Muffaletta sandwich to Jambalaya to Red Beans and Rice (using canned beans -- forgive them -- but no kid-chef could stand to wait 3 hours for their creation to come together.There are also more whimsical projects such as "Froggy in the Water" cupcakes -- adorable.
I was pleasantly surprised to discover that this book had some wonderful authentic New Orleans recipes in it. The book also includes photographs of the completed meals, which adds to the great visuals of the book. I bought this book for my five year old daughter, who loves the kiddie recipes in it. We have actually made the frog cup cakes already. They were easy to make and absolutely adorable. I have actually added this book to my cookbook collection. I highly recommend purchasing this book, you will not be disappointed.
My 4 year-old daughter received this cookbook from my mom for Christmas and we made Charlotte's Coffee Cake on page 11. The instructions for the recipe were very simple & easy to follow. There are steps in the cookbook that really give smaller kids a chance to 'use their hands' with the help of an adult, of course. I measured out all the ingredients and had my daughter put them in the bowls. This recipe in particular includes a cinnamon filling and my daughter was able to put all the ingredients in the bowl and use her hands to mix up the filling. My 20 month old son even got to help out by putting some of the mixture into the bowl too.I looked through all the recipes and there aren't any exotic ingredients, everything can be found at your supermarket and don't require a lot fluff. Since this is a cookbook geared towards kids I think it is a perfect way to start teaching your child how to cook and bake and become familiar with the kitchen. By having both kids in the kitchen, it also shows teamwork, cooperation & sharing and they can even learn counting with measuring the ingredients. Moreover, it gave us all a chance to bond in the kitchen - I'm usually shoo-ing them out. The final product was pretty tasty and since my daughter wants a Princess & the Frog party for her birthday, we'll probably be using plenty of recipes from the book.
This cookbook is adorable which is why I bought it for my 4 yr old niece. But instead of kiddie recipes, the ones in the book are more adult friendly. The only thing that makes this a children's cookbook are the pictures from the movie. I am going to give it to my 10 yr old daughter and do the recipes with her.
So, I was suppose to give this as a gift to my niece at her 4th birthday Princess Tiana party (I know... bad Auntie)... but I fell in love with it and decided to keep it to cook from when she comes over. I felt a little guilty because she loves to cook; but I would have been upset if I went over to find it colored in with pages torn like some of her other books (she's still learning to take care of her things.)Instead, I got us adorable matching little and big aprons from Flirty Apron's site (such cute designs and good quality) and we've made just about all the recipes. Needless to say she LOVED the book at first sight. The illustrations are beautiful and she enjoys flipping through the pages.I do some catering and baking for small parties and I can attest that the recipes are real yet simple, not watered down too much and so far I've enjoyed them all with only some minor adjustments for personal taste. She's still a little too young to appreciate things like Gumbo, but she did try it and ate most of it. To me that just means there's room to grow. She really liked the other things we made especially the Po Boys and Beignets. (we made bread for the Po Boys from scratch in the bread machine.) If you're looking for a good "kids cookbook" and/or are a Tiana fan. You'll love this book!
I am 23 years old and I bought this book for my 23 birthday, I heard from the other review that this book was really good so I thought I would give it a try. when I first got the book and started looking at the photos of the food, it all looked like really good food to eat and not just for kids. I made the corn bread 1st and it was really good, the next thing I made was the coffee cake and I was really surprised how hard it was, It was not at all like making a cake from a box you buy at the store it was something you had to make from scratch and I really enjoyed that. the last thing I have to say about this cake is that it tasted amazing like it came out of a bakery.
