This review is from: Retro Kids Cooking (Retro Series) (Hardcover)

Are you looking for a kid friendly cookbook with bright illustrations, and easy to follow recipes? Well, this cookbook just might be the one for you! Filled with lots of bright drawings, and recipe favorites, this is a great starter cookbook for your newest chef. The layout was definitely kid friendly, and offered a lot of great recipes for parents and kids alike. Some experienced cooks might find the recipes and instructions too simplistic...this is definitely one for newbie cooks.

Some of our favorites include: French Toast, Jolly Breakfast Ring, Sloppy Joes, Easy Spaghetti, Polka-Dotted Macaroni & Cheese, Fruit Kabobs, Cinnamon Twists, Pudding Cones, and Five-Minute Fudge. Enjoy!
