Book Description

September 1, 2009
It’s time for some family fun with creative crafts and out-of-this-world meals, and you might even learn something, too! Take the whole gang on a trip through the imagination with food and activities for all ages, any old Friday night.

This cookbook offers up 20 different dinners and over 100 recipes to make dinnertime fun again! Have a meal under the sea, in the park, on the moon, or back in time; there are jobs for kids and adults, and every meal includes appetizers, main courses, side dishes, and a fun dessert. Take your teddy bears on a picnic in the back yard, talk like pirates, or be pop stars with stylin’ shades. Each menu is completely customizable; you can begin preparation the night before, or you can add in shortcuts that work for your family. Crafts, games, and sometimes, special dinner get-ups round out a night of giggling to kick off the weekend.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Busy cooks with a houseful of hungry kids will appreciate this selection of 20 themed dinners from author Berman's (Little Black Book of Coffee, Little Black Book of Hors d'Oeuvres), emphasizing fun and family togetherness. Each menu-with titles like Silly Hat Night, Home on the Range, Under the Sea-consists of a handful of complementary dishes (Chuck Wagon Chicken Fried Steak, Chicken A La King in a Pastry Crown) that lean heavily toward kid-friendly favorites. Still, there's enough variety to keep things interesting and challenge adventurous eaters: roe or caviar dressing for a salad on Dress-Up Night, or a Vegsicle Salad, in which lettuce and frozen mixed vegetables are served with a vinaigrette. Parents will appreciate the crafts that accompany each menu-including antique treasure maps, magic wands and homemade placemats-to keep little hands busy while the adults focus on dinner. Most dishes are to-the-point and fairly easy to replicate, though a few, such as Berman's elaborate Castle Cupcakes and Under the Sea Shadowboxes may take a more time. Still, this is a fun and imaginative collection parents and kids should enjoy together.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Book, March 17, 2010
By 
James Eckel (Whitestone, NY United States) - See all my reviews
I never liked cooking until I found Friday Night Bites. Now my boy and I have fun and bond when we cook together every other Friday night. We like the High Speed Baked Alaska and the Toad in the Hole recipes. Native American Fry Bread spurred a long conversation about a Native American tribe in our area and further Internet research. I'd definetly recommend this book to parents of children in pre-school or elementary school.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved it!!!, March 16, 2010

What a fabulous book!!! It helped me create a fun environment for my 8-year old daughter and I to cook together. The crafts are an added bonus that my litte one loves. When Emily and I are finished preparing a meal, we share the fruits of our labor with her father. Now Friday evenings are Friday Night Family Bite Nights in our house.
