A hit with the kids!
We all loved "Cooking Art" but especially my children. They loved looking through the illustrations, making the recipes and especially eating their "creations". One of their favorites was the "Zucchini Train". There's just something special about eating something that you yourself have created. Even my finicky eater licked his plate clean! The recipes are easy to do and if you don't have one of the ingredients it's easy to make substitutions. In fact, that's one of the best parts about the book, it gets you thinking how to be creative on your own. The possibilities are endless!

My opinion of the book Cooking Art
Cooking Art is a book specially made for young kids to teach them about the kitchen. This book has easy-to-follow instructions that kids can easily follow.

I really liked this book because it was really easy to follow. I tried a few of the recipes and they are delicious. I would recommend this book for 5 year olds and beyond.

Easy Edible Art
I like this cook book because it encourages art and creativity, but food is not wasted, it is eaten (gobbled!!). Maybe some child will become a chef in a fancy five star restaurant because of these activities? It's just good fun that tastes good too.
