This review is from: Junior Cook Book (Hardcover)

I got this book at age 9 when it was published in 1972 and it still sits on my countertop today. This book is great because it helps kids to make simple single dishes or an entire meal with a meat, veggie, and drink. I learned measurement conversions, and gained a love of cooking from this book. Not to mention it has the absolute best deviled egg receipe I've ever eaten! There are pictures for each ingredient in addition to the written words. And many ingredients are pre-made that can be bought at the store such as Pigs in a Blanket with hotdogs and canned biscuits. Most of the recipes are designed for adult supervision vs. intervention so it's a great way to supervise the making of something vs. having to do it for them. The whole "retro" factor is very cool as well. I hope to use it to help my grandchildren learn how to cook.
