More Cookbooks!

Yesterday I wrote about a great new cookbook for kids.   I would also like to recommend some other new cookbooks just in case that one isn't enough and more recipes are needed.  




No Bake Gingerbread House For Kids by Lisa Anderson & Zac Williams.  Every year my nephews aunt gives them a Gingerbread making kit.   This book is nice because there is no kit needed and the ingredients are easy to get.   A perfect cookbook for this time of year.







The Do it Myself Kids' Cookbook: Nothing Hot, Nothing Sharp by Laurie Goldrich Wolf is for the youngest cooks in the house.   These recipes can be made by a child with no direct help from an adult.   I know lots of kids who will love this because they always want to do things themselves.







Boys Can Cook Too! Incredible Cookies by Kelly Lambrakis.  Normally I wouldn't suggest a book that is gender specific but I couldn't help myself with this one.   This is part of a series of books geared toward boys and cooking.   I was drawn to this one because the author has three boys just like my brother.   My brother's boys always liked to help in the kitchen.   I have a great photo of my nephew JoJo with his Grandma last year baking our bread for Christmas morning.   Even though it is technically for boys I am sure if there is a girl in the family they will like it too.




Teen Cuisine by Matthew Locriccio is one of the best books for young adults I have seen.   I know most teens could probably use a grownup cookbook but this is great to get them started.   I liked the set up and recipes plus the photographs are truly helpful.









Bean Appetit: Hip & Healthy Ways to Have Fun with Food by Shannon Payette Selp and Kelly Parthen.  I just loved the title of this book.   I also loved that it shows how eating healthy can be fun--as you know my other life involves veggie burgers (thesavorygarden.blogspot.com) and healthy eating.




These are just a few newer cookbooks for kids out in the marketplace.   These make great gifts for this time of year--Buon Appetito!

Reference Sunday: The Kids-Did-it! A (fun) cookie-baking cookbook for kids, illustrated by kids! by Glenn & Michelle Abrams

So it is that time of year again, Thanksgiving is over and it is time to turn our attention to Christmas and Hanukkah.   This is a time of buying presents, decorating and of course baking.

The Kids-Did-it!  A (fun) cookie-baking cookbook for kids, illustrated by kids! by Glenn & Michelle Abrams is a really great book to use this time of year.   Kids love to help in the kitchen and what they love most is to help make cookies and cakes.   What I love about this cookbook (besides the wonderful recipes--which are very child friendly) is that the illustrations are done by kids and are really quite impressive.   Children will be inspired to not only learn to bake but to maybe pick up a paintbrush or pencil and create their own illustrations.   This makes a great family gift or maybe an early gift to your child so they can help prepare for the holidays.   Either way it is a fun cookbook for kids and adults to enjoy together.   Oh if you go to the website Kidsdidt.com and enter the code (after you hit the buy now link) YFR5S8Q9 you can get a discount at checkout...buon appetite!
