This is an absolutely wonderful children's cookbook that is Halloween-themed but can be used all year. The recipes are fun and the color photographs are terrific. Two of my favorite recipes are the "Screams-After-Dark Snack Mix" and "Dusty Old Bones." Enjoy!
Such cute little recipes. Great cookbook for halloween & really all year round. Super simple recipes you could pretty much make with the ingredients in your house. My co-worker and I decided to have a little "book club" session @ work and read this book. Loved the recipe for Wolfbane Elixir, Coffin Crunchers & Trifle with Death. Cute names for the recipes as well. You will have great fun in the kitchen with the kids.
A reliance on prepared foods (frosting in a can, frozen meatballs, refrigerated dough) keeps these recipes simple enough to use in the classroom or at a party - on the other hand, use of such ingredients means that this is not the cookbook to use to teach children about healthy eating and food preparation. Bright, sharp full-bleed color pictures offer styling suggestions and a lie-flat spiral binding makes the book an easy reference.
Some cute and creative, while others were typical recipes with monster names.
There were some inconsistencies on the kid-friendliness factors. While most recipes were fine for kids and some mentioned needing an adult helper for certain steps, some recipes caused concern (like the potstickers recipe that required frying in oil with no mention of adults anywhere).
Don't be fooled. This isn't just your run of the mill "prep for Halloween" cookbook. This cookbook shouldn't be used by: those who refuse to play with their food those who lack imagination invisible friends witches who live in a candy house - See full review at: http://www.musingwithcrayolakym.com/3...
