Customer Reviews

Happy Childhood memories

I received this cookbook from a favorite neighbor in 1962 - and I will give copies to my grandchildren - I have a lot of happy memories of making recipes from this - in fact, I still have my copy - well worn!

My First Cookbook

This was my first cookbook; and, although its condition is worn and the cover is duct taped together, I still planned to pass it on to my daugthers. What fun, what memories, what an excellent first cookbook. With the reissue, I have purchased two, one for each of my kids! A memory and an heirloom!

Still the best cookbook for kids

I still have this cookbook in my collection 40 years after receiving it, and I still use it every time I make meatloaf. This book is a good basic book that covers nutrition and real meal preparation, not just snacks, even though there are a lot of fun things too. And the color pictures are glorious! I remember cheese dreams-yum! I think I will get another copy as my old one is pretty tattered. Come to think of it, I might get this for my first-born's first apartment-makes a better starter cookbook than most!!!

I'm thrilled this book is back!

I loved this book when I was a child, and just bought a copy for my own sons. I can hardly be an impartial judge, as every page is is a sweet memory. The book has beautiful photos of creative but simple kitchen creations for kids. Some don't even require cooking, just assembling. The 50's style has a nice retro appeal for adults, but for my kids the fun is in the simple recipes. They loved the Zoo Cake and Raggedy Ann salad, though they don't know who Raggedy Ann is! Next we'll try Good Kid cookies, an old favorite of mine.

Little people like to cook too!!

My daughter loves to cook and it was a challenge for me to find a cookbook that she could work from. I was thrilled when I came across this book. She loves it and cooks from it every week...who knows, maybe we'll have a four-star chef in the family one day. I'm so thankful for this book.
