Cooking Light The Ultimate Kid-Approved Cookbook: Delicious Food Kids Will Eat, Nutritious Meals Moms Will Love

by Cooking Light, Carolyn Williams, Rachel Quinlivan West (Editor)

Following on the heels of First Foods comes Cooking Light's first cookbook that gives moms fun, great-tasting, and healthy recipes they know their kids will love. Parents want their kids to be healthy, and this book, geared toward kids ages 3-12, shows them how. Cooking Light provides the facts about kids' nutrition-what kids need and what they don't need. But it's not just about "kid" foods and "adult" foods-it is about foods suitable for the entire family.

More than 100 kid-tested recipes show parents (and kids) they don't have to become short-order cooks when mealtime rolls around. In this easy-to-use, spiral-bound book, parents will learn how to get their kids involved in healthy cooking-teaching those skills that will prepare them for a lifetime of healthy habits and healthful, delicious meals.

Cooking Light The Ultimate Kid-Approved Cookbook is brimming with these fun features to enhance time spent in the kitchen:


"Kitchen Classroom" and "Nutrition Notes" teach moms and kids about nutrition and interesting food facts.
"Meals Made Easy" provides information about easy pairing of dishes to complete a meal.
"Young Chefs Can" and "Older Chefs Can" boxes with each recipe list the tasks kids of all ages can help with, allowing the entire family to be involved in getting dinner on the table.
Quotes from the Kids Tasting Panel throughout the book tell why they liked a particular dish, their serving suggestions, and ideas for extras.

Our oldest brought this book home from her elementary school library. She loves to cook and is always interested in learning new recipes.

Many of the recipes seemed a bit sophisticated to me - things that I doubt I would want to cook, let alone children. Still, there are lots of photographs of children enjoying themselves, cooking and preparing the different recipes. I asked our girls which recipes they'd like to try, and they were most excited about the desserts...go figure.
