These are two more children's cookbooks from the library's collection and with the holidays and vacations coming up, take a through some of these recipes to see if there's some fun cooking to be had with your family.
The Piccolo Chef Cookbook : Healthy Cooking With Your Kids by Fanelli Moraccini and Lilian Palmieri from the children's culinary school in Los Angeles. This book is full of easy recipes for children to follow.
Chop Chop: the Kid's Guide to Cooking Real Food with Your Family by Sally Sampson is the bound book version of their magazine's recipes for kids. On top there's a bar that tells you prep time, cook time and if adult help is needed (mostly yes).
Here's Erin Gleeson's forest feast for younger cooks featuring some fabulous photos and vegetarian recipes. Set with large text, these very easy recipes are for kids who are adventurous eaters. Recipes such as Kale Tacos or Pesto Pepper Pizza may be easy but kids with difficulty reading or not yet fluent will need adult help since each recipe is in a different font style, size and have directional arrows pointing to things may make it difficult to track.
All in all, Forest Feast for Kids : Colorful Vegetarian Recipes that are Simple to Make is a very stylish and visually appealing cookbook like its adult counterpart. Look through this cookbook for some holiday cooking choices along with the children's cooking magazine Chop Chop.
For 4th-8th graders.
The Silver Spoon for Children: Favorite Italian Recipes by Phaidon is presented in the style of the Moosewood Cookbook series, with simple text and illustrated cooking techniques easy enough for the beginning cook to follow. There are great classic recipes like potato gnocchi, leg of lamb, and stew, just to name a few. It's a beautiful book with photos of each finished dish so you can see what the dish will or should look like at the end of the cooking process. It's a slim, large formatted book which will lay flat so that it is easy to read from as you cook, just put plastic over it so the next person can enjoy it stain free.
For ages 10 and up.
