And of course she enjoys eating them and having her own cookbook. The recipes are simple and tasty, and she can mostly cook them herself (with help). Katzens other books include the best-selling childrens trilogy Pretend Soup, Honest Pretzels, and Salad People. Maia usually helps me make a mess (um, cook) from any cookbook these days, but I like the idea of a kids cookbook. Maia did every step herself (with me telling her what to do), including painting the muffin tins with butter and a pastry brush (lots of fun)! She even poured the batter into the tins with a 1/4 cup measure.Īnd I like that the recipes are all kid tested and approved with cute kid reviews for each along the lines of, “It tastes so good, I’m gonna eat it ALL UP!” and “I wish I could eat 100 of them!” The book has become something of a classic for children ages 3 and up. Color illustrations throughout.Tag on Instagram and hashtag it #artfulparent Pretend Soup by Mollie Katzen and Ann Henderson is one of my absolute favorite books. They are Salad People (also for preschoolers and up) and Honest Pretzels, which is more suitable for kids with better reading and kitchen skills, say from age 8 and up. Katzen has also written two other children's cookbooks, which form a set with Pretend Soup. Mollie Katzen Pureé of Watercress, Mushroom, Leek and Potato Soup Adapted from Still Life with Menu Cookbook Preparation time: 40 minutes Yield: about 6 servings (a little more, if you add the milk) Try this very simple, rich-tasting puree of vegetables, which tastes delicious with or without milk added.
Kids can make (and will therefore more likely eat) dishes such as zucchini moons, carrot pennies, oatmeal surprise, and even pizza. Since most 4-year-olds aren't ready to undertake roasting a chicken, this doesn't present a problem even for omnivorous parents. They also get a chance to work on their reading skills as they see words such as "stir" and "eat" in context.Ĭo-author Mollie Katzen is, most famously, the author of The Moosewood Cookbook, and not surprisingly all the recipes here are vegetarian. Kids learn how to cook by learning how to do things in order. (The recipes are also presented in format more familiar to adults, in case they have trouble following along). Pretend Soup, by celebrated Moosewood chef Mollie Katzen, offers children and families easy recipes for healthy, fun, and delicious food.
This is the first of three delightful cookbooks that offer kids a chance to improve their reading skills along with their kitchen skills.įor each of the 19 recipes here, kids will find simple line drawings illustrating each step in the recipe, accompanied by a few short words of text.
