Oh, What a great cookbook! I own over 3,000 cookbooks, several for children (our daughter is 6), and this is one of the best. Excellent recipes, teachable nutrition facts, and helpful hints. I highly recommend it!

I'm so impressed by this book. The recipes are not the standard kid-fare. They are healthy, tasty, wonderful recipes that will teach your kids to enjoy the real flavor of fresh foods and home cooking. There are photos of the foods being prepared--awesome for those who tend to second guess or wonder if they are doing things right. I'm going to buy a few more copies for friends.

This is a great cookbook. It contains much more than recipes, though. This book really teaches a healthy lifestyle, and includes strategies for passing that lifestyle on to your kids. Americans have largely embraced a fast-paced, fast-food lifestyle that encourages us to eat massive quantities of empty calories. This book offers helpful strategies to avoid these bad habits, without being preachy or sounding like the hippie handbook.
The recipes are great, too. The pancakes in particular are fabulous- healthy, tasty, great texture. My husband made them with our 2-year-old niece, and they had a blast. It was a simple enough recipe for her to be able to "help" a fair amount. All the recipes involve easy measurements, so kids of all ages can help in varying degrees.

This cookbook has been a great find. It's not a cutsie cookbook filled with a bunch of recipes involving lots of sugar or smiley faces on the food. Read more
