5.0 out of 5 stars Kid's Cooking, January 10, 2007

By	Rashanna M. Fulmer (Holdrege, NE) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

My three-year old daughter just loves this book. She grabs it when we are in the kithchen and wants to cook something out of it. It is easy enough for kids to help prepare the meal and gets them involved. I just love it!

5.0 out of 5 stars SEMI-homemade (NOT homemade!), March 22, 2007

By	Lizzie Elle (Spokane,WA) - See all my reviews

I was surprised that some people were so vehement about their distaste for this cookbook. Sandra makes no bones about what she does - mixes premade ingredients with fresh ingredients for quick, delicious recipes. She doesn't claim to be a master chef (although she does state on her television program that she learned how to do things traditionally from her grandmother), or a nutritionist. Her recipes are quick and easy for busy mothers and kids who don't have time to cook everything from scratch. If you are looking for recipes that take forever (measuring, etc.) and are written by a professionally trained chef, don't buy Sandra Lee. But if you are looking for quick, easy, and delicious recipes that utilize many of the foods that most of us have in our pantries (without forking out a fortune for specialized ingredients), Sandra's your gal.

5.0 out of 5 stars "SEMI" HOMEMADE, January 26, 2007

By	C. Ceja "c.ceja" (Los Angeles, California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

To the people that don't agree with the method's used in the book they have obviously not see Sandra Lee's show on Food Network. This is her own personal style of doing things. Thus the term "semi" homemade. Indeed this method does use canned and pre-made things [which is the whole idea.] I personally love her recipes and love this book. It is true that this book is not necessarily full of HEALTHY snacks yet you have the option of not buying this book. For those parents more interested in giving their kids a boost in the kitchen then this is the book for them. The recipes are very easy and fun to do. My sister uses this book all the time to play restaurant and it's a pleasure to see how happy she is to feel useful and loves helping us out with the meals.
