Customer Reviews

Not very kid friendly
My eight year old son has a great interest in cooking, is a good reader, and a very knowledgable computer nerd :-). But even so, this CD was poorly organized and required constant intervention and help from me. We both quickly lost interest. My son learns more about cooking and recipes from watching the cooking section on "ZOOM". This was a real disappointment because I use DVO's Recipe/Meal Planner software and was very impressed with that. However, this is not the same quality as the adult software DVO makes.

IT'S GREAT
For the child who thinks they want to be chef at a young age, this is were you can start him/her off on the right path

Outstanding!
This is the coolest CD I have ever seen. Finally someone got it right. It has just the right balance between fun and education. Gorilla Poop cookies!?? I was surprised they had the guts to put this one in. I'm glad they did too because that is what caught my son's attention! Now he's telling me where white flour came from and how potatoes were discovered and all kinds of things that I don't even know.
