Book Description

8 and up3 and up
More and more kids are in the kitchen, and they want to have fun. What to do? Turn to Betty Crocker, who makes cooking fun as well as delicious and dependable. With Betty, learning the basics was never so painless, and never so tasty. Not only do kids want fun foods such as Squeeze and Scribble Pancakes, Caramel Corn Commotion, Flying Saucer Chicken Quesadillas, Whatever Pizza and Dalmatian Cupcakes-they want to have fun reading the recipes. Every page is lavishly illustrated with characters and icons that appeal to the hip 8-12 set. Great colors and a photo of every recipe make this book jump off the shelf -- it practically boogies through the kitchen. Not only do the recipes look great -- they really work. Why? Because every recipe has been kid-tested. Say good-bye to lead-balloon cakes, cookies that only crumble, or main dishes that are mainly disappointing-any kid can tackle these recipes with confidence. In addition to the fifty terrific recipes, there are great party ideas complete with tempting treats. Try indoor camping or a spooky Halloween party-everything you'll need is right here. And, formatted in a sturdy, concealed spiral binding, this book takes it lying down-on the counter, on the table-wherever it's easiest for busy cooks. If your kids are ready to go wild in the kitchen, take Betty Crocker along! The results will be fantastic, and your kids will have a blast. Best of all, you can feel confident that the recipes will work, that your kids will enjoy themselves, and that your kitchen will still be one piece when the cooking is done!

3.0 out of 5 stars Bought for my 7 year old, April 26, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Betty Crocker Kids Cook! (Spiral-bound)
We got this book for our 7 year old for Christams. I wanted a clearly set out book with basic recipes as he loves to help out in the kitchen and his Dad is a great cook. The book is quite good, and the recipes are simple enough that he can follow them with minimal supervision. They all sound wonderful with wacky names, but I was dissapointed that this book uses a lot of packet mixes and pre prepared foods. It is more like an assembling book than a cook book. I really wanted something that would teach him basic cooking techniques, where as this focuses on the end result not the process. He still enjoys the book though and at least it is fostering his enjoyment of cooking.

1.0 out of 5 stars way too basic, November 12, 2005
This review is from: Betty Crocker Kids Cook! (Spiral-bound)
I found the Betty Crocker cookbook for kids was limited in actual recipes. I had thought of it for my 11yr old granddaughter but when I received it I was very disappointed in fact I returned it because even for my 7 year old grandson it was too basic. The recipes were things they already cooked. Way too much reading and too little recipes. Not a great job from Betty Crocker.

2.0 out of 5 stars Loud. Obnoxious. And Not Enough Recipes., May 14, 2006
This review is from: Betty Crocker Kids Cook! (Spiral-bound)
You know how it grates when you're exposed to a really really loud car stereo? That's what this book is visually. I am not interested in using a cookbook that 1) hurts my eyes and 2) isn't very original. I mean, don't kids get enough stimulation nowadays without printing a cookbook this garish?

If you're looking to get the kids into the kitchen, save your money for The Everything Kid's Cookbook or Mommy and Me, both fantastic books for that purpose; or for ultra kid-friendly new recipes, Beyond Mac'n'Cheese (by MOPS), or if you're really serious about family cooking, The Cook's Illustrated Family Cookbook, all excellent selections.

For healthy alternatives, get the BH & G's Kid's Favorites Made Healthy--a really excellent book with lots of recipes that are charming and easy to make. Skip this tome, which aside from scarring your retina, is mundane at best.
