2.0 out of 5 stars Cute pictures, terrible recipes, January 7, 2008

By	jen (Lexington, KY United States) - See all my reviews

My son enjoyed looking at the pictures of the Shrek characters, and it did inspire my kids to want to try to cook, but as a cookbook, it is extremely frustrating and disappointing. As another poster said, the recipes are riddled with errors, such as 2-1/2 CUPS of sugar in pancakes instead of tablespoons, the letter "t" ommitted throughout the salsa recipe, the porridge recipe has the measurements of oats and milk switched, and more. Thank goodness I decided to look over the recipe for pancakes before my daughter made it, and as a experienced cook caught the error. I'm glad it inspired my kids to cook, but it is a pain to have to carefully review and correct every recipe before they can try it. Obviously, the recipes were never tested. I'm sure there are much better kids cookbooks at there with accurate recipes and more kid-friendly.

2.0 out of 5 stars Typo's Galore!, January 3, 2008

By	Samuel B. Fuller (Austin, TX USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is entertaining but don't put too much credence in the recipes! For example the Sleeping Beauty pancakes calls for 2 1/2 cups of sugar! Tablespoons would be more like it. Our kids made a big mess creating unedible pancakes.

The recipe for Swamp weed and fly larvae is missing the letter 't' throughout. "2 oma oes", "Sal and pepper", etc.

I am sure that there are more typos like this.

Buyer beware!
