5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to use and GREAT recipes, March 16, 2001

My 3-year old daughter received this book as a gift and loves it. So do I! The recipes are simple (you probably have most of the ingredients in the house) and there are pictures of ingredients and measurements so that she can follow along. This is a great rainy day activity book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for kids who want to try their own cooking!, July 24, 2000

Our daughter, age 5, is entralled with this cookbook and even at her age is capable of doing the majority of the child's part. The cookbook is laid out so that there are children's steps and adult steps and each step is clearly explained. She especially loves having her own set of measuring spoons, color coded for size. Definitely a winner!

5.0 out of 5 stars Kid-able recipes that taste great!, July 17, 2001

This review is from: Kids Cooking: A Very Slightly Messy Manual (Spiral-bound)

I recieved this book for Christmas in 1989. I was thrilled to discover that I could cook all by myself!

The recipes in this book are simple enough that kids can manage them easily, without feeling like they need assistance through the whole thing. (And when you're a kid, that's important!) It even specifies which parts of the job should be handled by a "grown-up assistant."

What's more, the results are delicious. So good, in fact, that now that I am getting married I still have this cook book in my kitchen, and I still use it on a regular basis when I need a quick, easy meal.
