From Panini Wraps to Hot Dog Garlic Knots to Homemade Button Candy Kids, you'll never be bored (or hungry!) again. Leah Schapira and Victoria Dwek have created a cookbook with you kids in mind. The food is fun and the instructions are easy to follow. Every recipe has a picture so tempting you'll want to eat the page. (But don't-you'll want to use it again!) In the "Cooking School" tip on each page, you'll learn so many new techniques, like how to simmer or sautè - for dishes that are totally sensational. Surprise your family with a yummy dessert you made yourself. Have a "cooking party" with your friends or spend some quiet time with your mom in the kitchen. And of course, enjoy eating the fabulous food you made. So get into that kitchen, open Kids Cooking Made Easy, and get started! By the way, parents, you can use this cookbook too! (We won't tell.)
I bought this book for my 11-year old granddaughter. Today, I browsed through the recipes before wrapping it for Christmas. Some of the recipes have ingredients I have never used, and some I've never heard of before. For instance, malawach dough - used to make broccoli-cheese borekas (what's that?). Another calls for panko crumbs, which I just heard of 2 weeks ago. There's also, fresh basil, dry yeast (for children cooks?), skirt steak, hummus, Israeli salad (?), techineh (???), coriander, citric acid and mango sorbet.. The recipes are for borekas, spinich quesadillas, peanut butter pizzelle cake, and zucchini spaghetti. The book may give easy directions, but the recipes, and ingredients, are not what any child I know would know. My granddaughter asked for an Easy-bake oven for Christmas, and I give her this???
