Kids who cook will love this book!

book%20001.jpg

If you've got a little aspiring chef in the family, you might want to consider checking out this Betty Crocker book, "Kids Cook!" I know there are lots of children's cookbooks out there, but this 2007 edition struck me as particularly well-illustrated and organized. Like many books that aim to get children involved in the kitchen, "Kids Cook!" includes simple recipes for foods like grilled cheese sandwiches, tacos, scrambled eggs and quesadillas. But with a little help from mom or dad, kids can also whip up fresh tomato salsa, mini meatloaves, fried rice or enchiladas. I'll tell you what, any kid who puts a plate of "berrylicious pancakes" in front of this pancake nut is earning some allowance! Find the book here.

Friday afternoon my son made grilled cheese for himself and my husband. This one he had a little trouble with because even reducing the heat below medium, the times are not accurate if you're using professional cookware. Five minutes on the first side burned the first side. But I am told they still managed to salvage the grilled cheese. Friday night Cody then cooked dinner for the family. (He is very excited about the cookbook in case you couldn't tell.) He made the mini meatloafs and the tomato penne pasta with very little assistance and they turned out great. My son is ten, by the way.
