Best Children's Cookbook

Real-food recipes for entrees and popular snacks that older children and teens can make on their own. More substantial than other books that contain recipes primarily for sugary desserts and frivolous snacks, this book teaches real cooking. It doesn't talk down to the reader. The young authors don't assume their peers only like junk food. The book is beautiful and winsome, too. I want my children to know the basics of scratch cooking so they can go on to feed themselves and others satisfying, wholesome, thrifty and perhaps even gourmet meals. This book is a promising start.
