My 3 1/2 year-old daughter and I have had so much fun with this cookbook! She loves looking through the pictures, picking out recipes to try, and seeing kids making the food. This cookbook does a great job of merging a health conscious approach to children's food while keeping the food appealing and fun. Everything we have tried has been delicious with easy to follow recipes. I can't wait to try the meatloaf cupcakes with mashed potato and carrot icing - what a fun idea! A great gift for a young cook!

Love, love, love this book! The step-by-step instructions and full-color illustrations make these recipes fun & easy for the young cook to follow. The recipes aren't your usual english muffin pizzas, either. They're unique and interesting, yet easy!

This review is from: Junior Leagues In the Kitchen with Kids: Everyday Recipes & Activities for Healthy Living (Hardcover)

When I first got my copy of this book, I was thrilled with all the interior shots of the kids doing the "how to" of putting the recipes together. The step-by-step instructions are clear and concise and the presentation of the finished recipe gives extra ideas as well. One of my favorities is the "Cupcake Cones" which my eldest daughter has had in the past, and said they were very yummy, but that the cones were a bit squishy. Apparently, her friend didn't know the secret to this recipe is to place the cones in foil wrap while baking in the muffin tins....which this book shows you to do! All the tips along the way will help the youngest cook feel like a pro. I'm very impressed with the ingredients used here - healthy alternatives that challenge even me (the mom) to eat better as an example to my kids. This one is going to be a favorite around my house for years to come and it'll be on my Christmas Giving List to all the young chefs in my family this year! Can't wait to try the Roaster Red Pepper Hummus and the Orangy Oatmeal Cookies. I've made the Mini Pizzas many times over, as the combinations on this classic are endless...but I must say, I've never thought to put a smile on my Mini Pizza, as shown in the food-shot, which is part of what makes this book just so dang cute! Tons of food ideas and projects for hours of family-fun and healthy too, so you just can't lose with this one. Check out these "kid chefs"! [...]
