This review is from: Chocolate Chip Challah and Other Twists on the Jewish Holiday Table: An Interactive Family Cookbook (Paperback)

Although Amazon lists the age for this book as 4 to 8 yrs.old, it is really for adults together with children to learn about the Jewish holidays by interacting in the way Jews have always celebrated,WITH FOOD! There are simple instructions for the recipes (which are delicious), adorable cartoonish food characters,explanations of and the author's memories of holidays. There is also room for the parent,grandparent or child to record holiday memories.A delightful book.My entire family loves it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Making Cooking Fun, August 17, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Chocolate Chip Challah and Other Twists on the Jewish Holiday Table: An Interactive Family Cookbook (Paperback)

Even though I have been cooking Jewish foods for almost 10 years (and have no children), the recipies offered in this book make preparing for the holidays fun! The challah recipie is a big hit now with my family and I make one every year for each evening meal. Highly recommend for the "childish cook" in all of us.
