Customer Reviews

A must have!!!

My daughter and I LOVE this book! Her first recipe that she made was Cheeseburger Casserole and we rated it family favorite. I really appreciate the fact that the recipes are easy and familiar. We both love the feature of the cooking log and the rating system. I love the fact that it has a plastic cover.It is easy to use and daughter friendly. I would highly recommend this product. I really would recommend any of Marmee's products!

I love this book

My first 4 children are boys; so when I learned that our 5th blessing was a girl, I ordered Marmee's Kitchen Primer to put away for her. However, once it came in, the boys and I fell in love with it. The recipes are easy to follow, taste great, and they love helping me cook. Marmee's Kitchen Primer covers everything you need to know in the kitchen like how to set a pretty table, how to wash dishes, kitchen terms, how to read a recipe, and it even covers manners at the table (a must for boys!). What's even better about Marmee's Kitchen Primer is I actually like and use the recipes. You know how most cookbooks you only use a couple of the recipes? All of the recipes in this book are family friendly and taste great. Some of our favorites are the Easy Salisbury Steak, Potato Strips, and Sunday Dinner Rolls.

Truly a useful book and a keeper too for the next generation!

This book is just plain awesome. There is no other way to describe it. Starting with the utensils that will be used and the ingredients you will need, Martha has set down on paper simple step-by-step directions with lines and boxed sets of ingredients in the order they are added - just to simplify the cooking process for young or beginner cooks. The recipes are delicious and this rewards a child for the effort not only in preparing the dish, but in the clean up afterwards. Walking a youngster or beginning cook through the very basic steps such as proper table setting, what to do with dried and dirty dishes in the sink, illustrations of what each utensil looks like with the word beneath (excellent idea for beginner readers!!!), how to read a recipe and use measurements, kitchen terms to know and soooo much more! Martha covers every meal of the day, snacktime and even special days that deserve special recipes. Her simple sillhouetted illustrations of happy and industrious children creates a mood of eager anticipation and cheerfulness as the first page is opened. At the back your child (or you!) will find many pages to fill with your own favorite recipes so they will be readily at hand. There is also a test section so this book could and should be used as part of your family's own "Home Economics" course! My girls have been using the Kitchen Primer for over a year now and it's the first cookbook they pull off the shelf when they want something simple, easy and tasty. Each of my girls has a copy of this book carefully tucked away in their hope chests so they can share the joy and memories of using it with their own children someday. Truly a useful book and a keeper too for the next generation!

Marmee's Kitchen ~ great stuff!

Marmee's Kitchen Primer / Momma's Helper Kitchen Set By: Martha Greene [...] Marmee's Kitchen / Greene Acres Publications Honea Path, South Carolina Martha Greene has created Marmee's Kitchen Primer, it is a first textbook, if you will, on cooking, baking and keeping a proper kitchen for the pleasure of family and friends. My children love to help in the kitchen, and cooking is a skill they will need throughout their lives, so I hope to better prepare them than I was! Marmee's Kitchen Primer is set up in eight sections. They are The Cook's Primer, Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Snacks & Sweets, Special Days, Extra Recipes, and Tests & Projects. The first section, The Cook's Primer, covers the rules of running a proper kitchen, rules for the cook, such as: hand washing, having permission before you set off into the kitchen, making sure you have all of your ingredients before you start in on a recipe, using a timer (I am notoriously guilty of this one!), using a cutting board, making sure the stove is off when you are done, cleaning up after ourselves, etc. This section also covers setting the table properly, the washing of dishes, and proper sanitation. The Primer also teaches kitchen terms that are commonly used, such as sauté, toss, fold, mince, sift, and many more common table courtesies, along with how to read a recipe and measure properly. The next sections of the book include some great recipes. My girls have loved using their cookbook, and cooking for Momma & Daddy! What has made this even MORE FUN for them is their own REAL utensils, the Momma's Helper Kitchen Set that Marmee's Kitchen puts together! The Momma's Helper Kitchen set contains a stainless steel 3-quart mixing bowl, (that I use often as well!) mini wire whisk, wooden spoon, rubber spatula, mini heart cake pan, mini loaf pan, mini muffin pan, wooden rolling pin, mini pie pan, and stainless steel measuring spoons. These are the real thing folks, no cheap kiddie toys, these are NICE! Marmee's Primer includes a wide scope of recipes, everything from making toast...to a delicious Ham and Cheese Strata...a variety of sandwiches...homemade soups.... oven fried chicken...dinner rolls...chicken enchiladas...anyone hungry yet? The "Special Days" section has complete menus (of recipes found within the Primer) such as a "Box Supper", "Poppa's Birthday Dinner", "Dress Up Tea Party" and others; they even include ideas for decorations, games, and ideas to complete the 'special day' festivities! The Primer includes an area for recording the recipes you've tried, whether they were a family favorite, or not...and a place for the children to write and record other recipes that you've shared. The last section of The Primer is a tests and projects section, where you test your knowledge of what you've learned together. Projects include collecting special recipes and recording them, baking recipes from The Primer, and giving the goodies to someone special as a gift. Marmee's Kitchen Prim
