Product Description
Kids love to cook and help in the kitchen. That's why Jennifer Low has created this book of 100 no-knives, no-flame, from-scratch recipes that kids can easily make with the help of a caring adult. Each recipe has been tested by kids aged four and up and each dish is beautifully photographed From Paddy Thai Noodles (an oven backed take on traditional Pad Thai) and One-Potato-Two Bread to Baby Lemon Meringue Pies and Strawberry-Fudge Striped Cake, the author shows how to organize a safe and fun kitchen for kids to learn cooking and to create yummy dishes.

• Somewhat Disappointing Fixation On Sweets 28 September, 2007
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.

• Kitchen For Kids 11 September, 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.

• Too Many Desserts 01 October, 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.

• I Love This 15 November, 2008
Why do I love this book? Because the photography is great and the recipes follow suit. I cook from this a lot with and with out my children since they are still a bit small for cooking on their own. I will admit that most of the recipes I have tried are the desserts and they have all been wonderful. What makes this group of recipes unique is the size. The cakes are small and the batches only make a few cookies, perfect for a family. I really don't like making a full size cake for just the four of us so these little recipes make enough for us to have a piece after dinner, with maybe a couple more servings left over rather than 3/4 of a cake.

• Super Kid Friendly 18 December, 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.
