Great pictures

This is one of those cool cook books that has pixctures all the way thru it... the prep, the stuff you use, the finished product. It is great for an older child (10 and up) to use to get cooking. Recipes rely alot on cheese though. Heather mama of 5

Great pictures, great tasting and fun to cook with your kids!

I bought this after running out of ideas to feed our vegetarian family that would also be interesting for our 3 year old. The best thing about this book is the pictures of the complete dish as well as the ingredients needed at the recipe side so that even children who are not reading yet (like ours) can still get excited and help out with the first step of hunting down all the ingredients needed. Despite being vegetarian, the recipes are not overly hippy - you can get all of the ingredients at any supermarket and they actually include ingredients like butter, milk, cheese and salt. The finished dishes all taste great- also a hit at potlucks! We also like the kid recipe projects like making a bread house or animal shaped breadsticks, a fun activity you can do with your kids and then be able to enjoy eating too! The hardcover book also keeps nicer than paperbacks being around wet and messy ingredients.

Beautiful Enough to be a Coffee Table Book

This book is overflowing with fantastic photography, reminiscent of those children's books with hundreds of photos of everyday things. If you are visually oriented like me and appreciate knowing exactly what your dish is supposed to look like when it's done, you`ll love this book. Step by step instructions with photos make creating these masterpieces easy even for the inexperienced in the kitchen. Just a word of warning: it isn't for the perpetually behind schedule and the fast-food obsessed. It's the kind of cookbook that makes you want to learn to cook, and it deserves an hour set aside to create these lovely meals. If you can only reconstruct half the fabulous presentation, it'll be worth your time! In reality, most of the recipes only appear to be time-consuming; they are not. There are only a handful of recipes that seem to be specifically aimed at pleasing the preschool set. The book is meant for children of all ages, including teens. The recipes will most definitely appeal to adults and older children. I would be willing to bet you could even tempt a devout meat-eater with some of them. There is definitely an eggs and dairy emphasis, so it cannot be categorized as a vegan cookbook. It would make a great gift for a friend or family member that wants to know what to cook for you when you come to visit or as an introduction to vegetarian cooking.
