Kids Cookbooks We Love
Running out of dinner ideas? Try this on for size: you watching as your kid cooks for you. It may seem like a fantasy unlikely to come true, but with the right kids cookbook, it just might happen. Here are two of our favorites:
Honest Pretzels by Mollie Katzen (Tricycle Press). A great primer for would-be cooks, with clear directions, interesting recipes, and a healthy, but kid-centric approach. Katzen is the author of the popular Moosewood Cookbook series. She gets it just right here with recipes like a Giant Baked Pancake Puff, Gingerbread French Toast, Not-From-a-Box Macaroni and Cheese, and Spaghetti Pie. Katzen manages to sneak in fruits and vegetables in fun ways-- Apple Yogurt Salad, Tomato Soup, Mysterious Dipping Sauce for tofu and vegetables, or Crunchy Zucchini Circles. But she balances things with kid staples like pizza and homemade tortillas. The book is aimed at kids 8 years and up. For their younger siblings, we love Pretend Soup and Other Real Recipes, her cookbook for preschoolers.
