There are few better places where parents and kids can spend quality time together than in the kitchen. This book celebrates those happy hours, as it brings alive a typical family kitchen?s wonderful cooking aromas and medley of tastes. It presents dozens of easy recipes for wholesome foods that even very young children can prepare when guided by parents? supervision.

Six separate chapters focus on specific food groups:
Fruit
Vegetables

Bread, Pasta, and Grains
Meat, Chicken, and Fish

This books cooking activities are recommended for parents whose kids range from ages 3 to 6. Color photos and illustrations on most pages.
My youngest daughter is all about food. Since we home school we have utilized food and recipes to teach her so much. It's what she's interested in and if she doesn't own a restaurant or become a chef I will be very surprised.
When we received this book to review both girls went crazy.
We made smoothies, cookies, salads, and they've even been ‘setting' the table. We are having fun and learning at the same time. I definitely recommend this book. Buy it HERE
