DK Children's Cookbook

This thoughtfully planned, brilliantly photographed, and clearly written guide to healthy eating makes a good investment for any household. Whether you are just learning how to crack an egg, slice fresh fruit, and whisk an omelette... or are moving on to parboiling, deseeding, scoring, and stir-frying, this book shows you what tools to use and how it all looks as you put these yummy dishes together.

Recipes for things like curries, crumbles, smoothies, naan and popovers are scored easy to hard. Steps that might need adult help or that involve heat or sharp tools are marked. Cooking terms are highlighted at the top of each page and described in the glossary.

Healthy foods are featured, like tofu, veggies, egg noodles, berries, and yogurt. And an attempt is made to cut down on saturated fats, salt and sugar. But baking is not entirely ignored. Some delicious dessert recipes are included with a caution to have just a little as a treat. What are birthdays for, anyway?

Well worth trying!
