I love this book. Parents hear all the time about getting our kids eating right and getting some variety in their diets. Well, here's how to do it. Fredericks's practical strategies are helping us out: we're broadening what our kids will eat (because they have a hand in cooking it); we're cooking with fresh ingredients (amazing what you have time for if the kids are with you in the kitchen!); and we're figuring out how to be a team. On top of that, her recipes are really good; not just child's food. Dad is getting to be a better cook, too, thanks to the way she instructs.

Ms. Fredericks has written a much needed book for helping families spend time together cooking. The recipes are easy to prepare and include ideas and information from many cultures. I found this to be educational for my own children and encourage parents to buy and use this wonderful cookbook

As a Mother of two, I was pleasantly surprised to find a cookbook w/ exciting recipes from around the world that were easy to prepare (w/ my kids) but satisfying for adults as well as children. I applaude Ms. Fredericks for her dedication to her kids as well as helping other families w/ similar struggles. A really great cookbook with an interactive family approach to cooking.

Beind a single mother myself, finially a cookbook that I could share with my kids, that had more sophisticated recipies than the typical Children's cookbooks. She has wonderful insight to children, and sounds like she has done a wonderful job of raising her own.

This is a wonderful book. It is appropriate for any parent, whether they like to cook or not. The author, Lynn Fredericks, a single mother demonstrates how involving her two sons in helping her prepare meals brought the whole family closer. A must read and wonderfully illustrated with pictures of an especially adorable family.
