The Toddler Cookbook

Nice, large, colored pictures! Very inviting for the kids........easy "cooking" for the little ones. A GREAT BUY!!

My boys age 7 & 4 have loved cooking from this cookbook. I appreciate that the recipes actually taste good and are fairly healthy. I disagree with its title, but think it is a small but great kids cookbook.

For years I have looked for a great "cooking with kids" cookbook and this is my favorite so far. The recipes aren't the most creative or interesting, but it got my son wanting to make some pretty healthy recipes. The pictures in the book are really well done and even made salad look appealing to my picky eater. [...]

The title of the book is a bit misleading as this is geared more for preschoolers (4+) due to the level of difficulty of the recipes. There is a wide assortment of recipes including: caesar salad (no eggs), bread rolls, pita pizzas, (roasted) cherry tomato sauce, chicken dippers, chicken satay, almond fishcakes, corn quesadillas. For desserts: multicolored meringues, tropical ice pops, mini banana muffins, peanut butter rice krispi bears, oat bars, butter cookies, fruit plate with dips (on artist palette, very original), mini lemon cheesecakes (made with yogurt, heavy cream and no eggs) and lemonade. There's also an interesting section on how to organize a cooking party. Also a plus, a picture glossary of the equipment children will need to cook plus the ingredients they will need. Beautiful layout, clear instructions, and it's food that could be served to grownups as well. Parents be advised, some instructions are questionable, such as grating cheese on a box grater (ask an adult to help in tiny letters) and a child holding on to a hand mixer her moms is using (eer, no way). This is a British cookbook adapted for the US so you'll find US standard measures, as well as metric (weight) and temperatures in Fahrenheit / Celsius (can be confusing to a child). This is an excellent cookbook although parent supervision is advised for some recipes.
