Kids' Fun and Healthy Cookbook

I wanted a cookbook that I could sit with my 4 1/2 year old and 7 year old grandsons and choose things to make... There are several things I think will tempt them... I want to encourage my boys to try new things and have a part in the process of the cooking. This book has wonderful full color photos on most of the book. You "eat" with your eyes first... this is important - especially when trying to get kids involved. I will update my review as we have tried a few things. Why not 5 stars.... a hard spine... not a spiral - which makes it easier to keep open... *meh*... I do like the healthier recipes. I didn't see anything that you needed a degree to get done - which is good cause we are trying to get kids involved here! There are easy to follow step by step directions. The 7 year old reads so he is going to jump on the details. The 4 1/2 year old will like the photos. I never hesitate to update my reviews should new info seem useful... and I do hope this info was helpful to you in some way!

Why yes... my children whose favorite foods include...Mac and cheese, peanut butter, ice cream and bread...would LOVE a nice lamb kebab for dinner tonight...I thought this “cookbook” would help with ideas to feed these kids... I’m thinking not

I bought this for my youngest granddaughter's birthday because she's shown a strong interest in cooking and baking. I was very impressed with the simplicity of most of the recipes, as well as the fact that the recipes are pretty healthy options. My daughter, her mother, says they're having a lot of fun with it (and "Betty Crocker Kids Cook!" another 'kids' cookbook I gifted at the same time), and they all enjoy the food. It's marketed to children, but, she says the food's really good.

Was looking for fun cookbooks for my kids with healthy and kid friendly recipes. The book is ok but I was not overly impressed with it. It has just sat on our bookshelf and not really used at all. Would not have bought this if I had seen it first.

I am so happy with this cook book. They are great recipes and really healthy. Homemade sauces and even homemade pesto, really good. I was nervous at first that my daughter (5yrs.) wouldn't like the "healthy" recipes but I let her go through it and put a little post it on the recipes she wanted to try. And more than half the recipes were tagged. Even the lamb kebabs and pesto pasta with broccoli. And though she didn't like every recipe we made she is trying/tasting more food because SHE chose it.

I purchased this for my daughter and we made a few recipes from the book already. There is a healthy bean recipe under meals that I made three times already and we only had it since Christmas. Easy to follow instructions not just for kids because I like it too and I'm 41

This book has lots of good recipes and food information. It is a little more complex than most kid cookbooks I've come across, which is great (not just toast with jelly recipes). It has information about how some foods help your body and are good for you. We have tried several recipes the lamb kabobs (we used ground chicken) were the favorite for my kids. The tofu pita pockets were not well received by my family though I liked them. Keep in mind these are healthier recipes so if your not into that you probably won't like this. It was nice to have some new ideas I get sick of cooking the same stuff all the time!

It’s ok, but the foods aren’t that healthy and the layout is much better in the similar DK vegetarian book. Returned this one

Peggy from customer service was brilliant when the book didn't arrive, a replacement was sent out and arrived very quickly thank you for your help. the book has lovely bright pictures with very clear recipes

I loved the pictures and simple instructions. My oldest great grand daughter, whom I collect these for, found the pages entertaining but a bit too busy. She loved reading the books and scanning the pages but hasn't cooked anything from it yet.

Love the step by step instructions with pictures and the interesting facts.Great book for a beginner chef.

I bought this for my granddaughter. Haven't rec'd feedback yet!
