Be a Superhero in the Kitchen offers pages of kid-friendly recipes with fun illustrations, cool recipe titles, and tips that help families learn some things in the kitchen along the way. ~ Angela (Amazon)
These are very easy recipes that range from lunch, dinner, and dessert. My son who is 10 and a big reader looked this over for me as well. This has piqued his interest more in cooking (he already wants to learn) and these are simpler recipes for him to learn on. He also pointed out that he really liked that the apron became the kid’s superhero capes. ~ A.R.S. (Amazon)
Each recipe lists the ingredients needed, directions, and most have a superhero tip. The superhero tip can be possible additions or changes to the recipe, other items that go good with that recipe (like putting the Eggtastic Spaghetti on a waffle), or tips (like never pouring grease down the sink drain). ~ Dawn H (Amazon)
I bought this cookbook with the idea of making a few of these meals with my nieces and nephews. Such a cool idea! The recipes were varied in flavor and ingredients, so there’s something for even picky eaters. And using the crock pot for several of the recipes is perfect for very young children to be able to help while not risking burns on the stove. There are also a lot of tips for children to learn kitchen safety. ~ SMM (Amazon)
This is a great book for parents and grandparents who have children stuck at home in these quarantine times. Boys and girls alike will love to show off their culinary skills with these simple, yet creative, easy to follow recipes. ~ Luce (Amazon)
