 My son has me read it to him cover to cover! June 6, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
My 3 (and a 1/2) year old son LOVES this book, LOVES IT! He really does sit me down and ask me to read it through as if it were a story book. We also cook out of it. He is always thrilled to make a new recipe. We've made 7 of them, and we've only had the book for 2 months. He can't get enough. Buy this book, really.
The Perfect Mommy 'n Me Cookbook March 7, 2007

I bought this for my daughter years ago and she still loves it! My only complaint is that she always wants to cook from it, and I'm not always up for it. I gave it to her friends, along with an apron, for Christmas and it was a big hit. Very easy for young kids to follow and be inspired!
 Pretty good February 11, 2007

This is a great introduction to following directions and cooking methods. Many of these recipes are not quite for preschoolers since some stove top cooking is required, but safety tips and suggestions are included. The drawings are simple enough for my three year old to understand. We are looking forward to experiencing this book together.
Yummy family cooking time January 21, 2007

Mollie Katzen is well known in the food world for her involvement with the Moosewood Restaurant in Ithaca, New York. She has been creating recipes and writing vegetarian cookbooks for adults for many years. However, until she witnessed her son's preschool class making applesauce one day, she didn't think her three-year-old would have an interest in preparing food.
When she talked to his teacher, Ann Henderson, she discovered that the class cooked weekly. Something clicked during this conversation and she remembered her "play cooking" as a child, with her mother's old bowls in the backyard.
Several years later, Mollie and Ann teamed up to write a cookbook for parents and their preschoolers to use to experience the fun of early cooking at home.
Because this unique cookbook is designed for both adults and preschoolers, it does not follow traditional cookbook layout. First, the recipe is written traditionally for the adults to go through. Next, the recipe is written in a pictorial version for the kids to use. The authors also give tips to make these more fun and safe for the children. Ideas such as colored tape on the handle of the butter (or plastic) knife to teach them which end to hold, and creating a cooking station at the kitchen table where it is safer for the kids to reach using an electric skillet. Each recipe is presented in a colorful way, with ideas on how to introduce young and picky eaters to try new foods.
Recipes such as popovers, green spaghetti, bagel faces and pretend soup are simple enough to not confuse young cooks, but complex enough to inspire their imaginations and leave them with good, healthy fun food to eat. Each of these recipes has been made and taste tested by Ann's preschoolers and the book is peppered with quotes from the kids on what they thought of the foods that they made.
I'm looking forward to spending some time with the preschoolers in my life and trying out some of the fun food recipes found inside this fun little cookbook.

My 3 yr old son loves this book! July 11, 2006
7 out of 11 found this review helpful
My 3 yr old son carries this book around the house and has me read it while he looks at the pictures. He is now begining to "read" it all by himself. We have not actually made any of the food yet, but when we do, I know he will be more likely to try the various food. Funny side note... one of the recipes call for you to prick something with a fork, and my son is always asking me to spell things. We were in line at the store when he asked loudly, "Mommy, how do spell prick". Needless to say, I wish the author would have used the word poke instead.
