Enthusiastically recommended for family and community library cookbook collections for children ages 6 to 16
Teaching children how to properly and safely use kitchen appliances and tools to prepare meals is a life-time skill that will serve them throughout all the years of their life. Being able to make and serve meals at home serves to insure delicious, nutriousness dining -- as well as being a great deal more cost effective than dining out! Now parents have a new teaching tool for instructing their daughters (and sons!) in the culinary arts with Barbara Beery's "Green Princess Cookbook: Sweets And Treats To Save The Planet", a compilation of thoroughly 'kid friendly' recipes, these are dishes that are as fun to prepare as they are pleasing to any palate and satisfying to any appetite. From Dig-That-Earth-Day Hummus; So-Good Soba Noodle Nests; Handmade Fiesta Tortillas; and Baby Butterfly Cupcakes; to Cinnamon-Maple Crisps; Nature's Veggie Nachos; Back-To-Nature Fruit-Filled Meringues; and Power-Up Fruit Cup, the "Green Princess Cookbook" is a beautifully illustrated children's cookbook that is enhanced for aspiring young chefs with tips and ideas for environmentally friendly dining. With a hard-cover protected spiral binding allowing it to be laid out flat on a kitchen counter or table, "Green Princess Cookbook" is enthusiastically recommended for family and community library cookbook collections for children ages 6 to 16.

Kids' cookprints go green
As the author of Cooking Green and Cooking with Kids For Dummies, I'm a big advocate of shrinking your "cookprint" at any age. Barbara Beery's book starts kids off early with a greener awareness and helps keep their cookprints in check. It's got green cuisine and green living tips scattered throughout the book. Recipes include lots of fruit and veggie recipes kids will love to make and eat, along with sweet treats. The no-bake brownie cupcakes save fuel (no turning on the oven), and the solar-powered strawberry syrup for lemonade is total-fun inspiration.
