 Kitchen for kids September 11, 2008
This is a nice cookbook for kids with plenty of recipes for desserts and a few main meal recipes too. Photos are included with every recipe which is nice to see since so many kids books typically use illustrations or nothing at all. It would have been nice to see more savory dishes instead of so many sweet recipes.
I purchased this for my 13 year old, wanna be chef. She enjoyed the book & it was easy for her to tackle recipes on her own.
 SUPER KID FRIENDLY December 18, 2007
This cookbook for children is just as good for adults. It's not dumbed down for kids and the recipes are delicious. No hotdogs, or silly cookies. This book provides you with great healthy recipes that everyone should enjoy. The desserts are not sugary and silly but they are elegant and sweet.
 Too many desserts October 1, 2007

This was a nice cookbook, but it has too much of a focus on desserts and not enough focus on cooking healthy foods a child will enjoy.
Somewhat disappointing fixation on sweets September 28, 2007
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
I saw Jennifer Low in a TV appearance promoting this book, where she spoke at length about the need for kids to eat nutritious food and limit their consumption of treats. She emphasized the kids eat too many treats, and by definition a treat should not be eaten non-stop. Inspired by her enthusiasm for healthy kids, I purchased this book, only to find a few main dishes or savory breads followed by over 80 (out of 100) recipes for sweets.
The recipes have moderate yields -- limiting the disappointment if they don't come out right, and controlling the amount of raw ingredients that would be put into the recipe (as she says, your kids won't use up all your eggs), but there are simply too many sweets. And many of these are serious sweets, like fudge, not fruit salad. Three of them, incidentally, call for raw eggs.
Low was mindful of creating recipes that are do-able for young children, and she keeps their limitations and the comfort level of their parents in mind. All of the recipes use the oven, not the stove. A book like Mollie Katzen's "Pretend Soup" includes a visual recipe chart for preschoolers who cannot yet read as well as a wholesome attention to things like quick sandwiches and sauces), without all the sugar.
The recipes are very tasty, and the yield sizes appropriate. I just wish she would have diversified her offerings.
LOVE it! July 26, 2007
I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes to cook with their kids. This is the first such cookbook that as I flipped through, I actually like ALL of the recipes, instead of a few. The recipes are things that my kids will actually eat, but they all have a bit of an adult flair -- not all chicken nugget-type stuff. The other great thing is that the yield is kid-sized too, so for example a cookie recipe will make up 12 cookies instead of 4 dozen. Makes it easier for the kids to handle (quick to mix, quick to cook), and perfect for those of us who can't take the temptation of 40 cookies in the house after the kids are in bed! I was browsing this with my sis-in-law the day it came in the mail, and she loved it so much that I bought her a copy for her birthday.
