Paula Deen's My First Cookbook

Santa brought this cookbook for my daughter (age six) who had asked him for a recipe book. We've made several of the recipes already. My daughter enjoys picking through the recipes and choosing which one to make next. The vanilla cupcakes were delicious and the Bull's Eye was a hit. I've noticed that my picky eater daughter is much more likely to eat things she made herself. We also made the stuffed shells which called for cottage cheese instead of ricotta. They were good but next time I think we'll use ricotta. Other reviewers have complained that there are no photos of the recipes which is true, but there are usually cute drawings. Overall we really like the book. We've never seen the tv show but we're going to look for it.

I purchased this cook book for my 9 yr old niece. Looking through it i think it is wonderful! I has everything from describing techniques, to great kid friendly recipes to good manners! This is a must have for any young blooming cook! A+

I had this cookbook pre-ordered because I LOVE all things Paula and my kids love to cook with me. I love the younger days pictures of Paula and her boys and the recipes bring me back to my own childhood, cooking with my own mom. The recipes in this book are easy, kid friendly, fun, and just plain good! Thanks so much Paula for this wonderful newest edition to my Paula Deen library! My kids and I will have such a great autumn cooking away in this wonderful cookbook! By the way, there are a few fun non-food recipes in here too. If you have kids and you love Paula you have to get this cookbook.

Paula's personality shows in this cookbook for kids. I think it is very practical for kids that are familiar in the kitchen and even for youger ones with help. I love the recipes in here. They are practical and its not complicated. I look forward to having this book in my collection for years to come.
