I'm a cookbook collector from way, way back, and I count the Spatulatta Cookbook as one of my favorites. It's not just kid friendly. It's grandma (or grandpa!) friendly, too. Filled with wonderful recipes and all kinds of practical tips, the cookbook is delightful to use. One feels as if those darling little authors, Olivia and Isabella, are right beside you the whole way. What beautiful photography! Cookbooks have certainly come a long way since I began collecting.

I absoutely LOVE this cookbook- it is faboulous! The book is filled with lots of knowledge, helpful tips, and great recipes! I'm almost fifteen and I think this coobook is great not just for kids but for everyone- just because it's called a "Kids Cookbook"- doesn't mean you'll be feasting on Mac N' Cheese and chicken fingers- this cookbook features some pretty sophisticated foods- but with easy to follow instructtions! Not to mention, a great section for vegeterians and snacks. The pesto pasta has to be my favorite. It is absoutely delicious. I can smell the garlic from my bedroom! Yummm! I can cook dinner for my entire family!

Love this book, and I'm sure you and your kids will love the colorful pictures, delicious foods (a lot of great healthy options too...so it's great for people that are dieting too. *mhmm me*) Faboulous book!

The Spatulatta Cookbook is perfect for my nine year old because she can actually tackle some of the recipes herself, with no help from me. She LOVES the Berry Dip n Roll - it's fast, easy and it's good for her!
