5.0 out of 5 stars absolutely perfect!, March 31, 2007

By	Sahne (Washington) - See all my reviews

I was looking through quite a few books before settleing on this one. For my two boys I knew I needed pictures at least of the dish and a clear discription. I also found that other recipe books were packed with treats and snacks what I really didn't want nor need.
There is a list of ingredients (which makes it easy to check if you have everything) and a list of tools
The recipe is then divided into steps , and again subdivided for easy reading. There is a photograph of pretty much every other step that depicts other children cooking the dish at those very steps. At the end there are suggestions for easy variations which is awesome because some kids just might like different ingredients and it stretches the 25 recipes to quite a few more.
The recipes are healthy, basic but with a great variety.So there should be something for everyone. Great buy! Great book! Definately a keeper.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great cookbook from WS, February 13, 2008

By	K. Taylor (virginia beach, va) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I got this for my 6 year old who loves to cook. His favorite "cookbook" is the WS Baking book so I figured this one would be an easy transition to a wider array of foods. This cookbook, like the Baking book, is easily read by my son and makes really delicious foodstuffs. The proportions aren't huge and the end product is flavorful. I especially appreciate the culinary education that WS tries to impart to the kids as they cook and bake. The only negative comment I have to make is regarding the Ultimate Ham and Cheese Sandwich recipe--the Gruyere cheese is not a favorite among kids (cheddar can be used in its place). Bottomline: This book successfully encourages kids to get involved in the actual cooking of their food as well as enjoying the end product...without having to make food look like cutesy animals or insects, like so many ridiculous kids "cookbooks" do.
