About this title

Synopsis

A collection of simple recipes for children to create on their own, many of which require no cooking.

From School Library Journal

Grade 3-5-A beginning, general, vegetarian cookbook written in a "gee whiz" style with numerous exclamation points. The recipes range in difficulty from raisin-bread toast with peanut butter or cream cheese to "Twice-Baked Potatoes," which require both oven and electric mixer operations. After the obligatory safety rules, equipment, terms, and measuring notes (metric is included), the dishes are presented. The arrangement seems rather arbitrary as it may not be immediately clear, for example, what the difference is between "Trail Mixes and More" and "Fruit and Vegetable Snacks." Full-color photographs of the food and of a variety of children cooking accompany the directions. Occasional sidebars relate anecdotes and interesting tidbits. New Junior Cookbook (Meredith, 1989) has a similar format, includes meat, fish, and poultry, and is more straightforward and useful. Angela Wilkes's The Children's Step-by-Step Cookbook (Dorling Kindersley, 1994) is similar to the New Junior but more attractive. Both are for the same audience; either is preferable to Kids in the Kitchen unless a vegetarian cookbook is required.
