5.0 out of 5 stars Kids' cookprints go green, April 6, 2009

As the author of Cooking Green and Cooking with Kids For Dummies, I'm a big advocate of shrinking your "cookprint" at any age. Barbara Beery's book starts kids off early with a greener awareness and helps keep their cookprints in check. It's got green cuisine and green living tips scattered throughout the book. Recipes include lots of fruit and veggie recipes kids will love to make and eat, along with sweet treats. The no-bake brownie cupcakes save fuel (no turning on the oven), and the solar-powered strawberry syrup for lemonade is total-fun inspiration.

Teaching children how to properly and safely use kitchen appliances and tools to prepare meals is a life-time skill that will serve them throughout all the years of their life.

From Dig-That-Earth-Day Hummus; So-Good Soba Noodle Nests; Handmade Fiesta Tortillas; and Baby Butterfly Cupcakes; to Cinnamon-Maple Crisps; Nature's Veggie Nachos; Back-To-Nature Fruit-Filled Meringues; and Power-Up Fruit Cup, the "Green Princess Cookbook" is a beautifully illustrated children's cookbook that is enhanced for aspiring young chefs with tips and ideas for environmentally friendly dining. With a hard-cover protected spiral binding allowing it to be laid out flat on a kitchen counter or table, "Green Princess Cookbook" is enthusiastically recommended for family and community library cookbook collections for children ages 6 to 16.

The Green Princess Cookbook: Sweets and Treats to Save the Planet has many suggestions as to how to eat more "green" and help the environment, your local economy, and your health all at the same time! It contains thirty delicious recipes to make from locally grown and organic foods, complete with gorgeous photos. Having a party using these recipes would be an excellent way to educate children about the benefits of eating green. Plus, it includes extra tips throughout to help you learn how to do better at living green in all areas of your life. I appreciated that many of the recipes were made with healthier ingredients, like honey, soy milk and fruits. There are lots of great ideas, like, if you want to use up your extra zucchini this summer, you could try Off the Vine Zany Zucchini Muffins. Or how about Jungle Boogie Banana Ice Cream made with organic bananas and fresh cream. Making homemade tortillas, butter and jam from recipes in Green Princess Cookbook: Sweets and Treats to Save the Planet would be a engaging party activity. And everyone would love the Flower Power Cookies as a take home gift! Green Princess Cookbook: Sweets and Treats to Save the Planet is a great introduction for kids to eating and living green!
