Delicious Recipes and Whimsical Art

If you are looking for a recipe book that will be perfect for ages 8 and up, then this book will give your child ideas for recipes from all fifty states. I took to the kitchen at a very young age and a book like this might inspire a child to create their own recipes. Many children think of cooking as great fun, so this book could save you a lot of cooking time. This book will also appeal to cookbook collectors because you can learn about all the fifty states through the whimsical drawings and extra fun information. Children will enjoy reading this book and learn how to cook safely. There are tips throughout, little cartoons and likeable characters. Recipes to look forward to making: Crunchy Sunflower Cereal Patty-Cake Crab Cakes Mississippi Mud Pie True Blue Soup (Not the one made by Bridget ;) This one is made with blueberries and it more of a dessert. Good-For-The-Soul Grits (This recipe has cheddar cheese and parmesan cheese and it not your ordinary Grit recipe.) This book made me really hungry for Sloppie Joes. That is a meal kids rarely forget and my husband begs me to make. I remember the scent drifting down the hallways of my friend's apartment building. Her mom gave me a recipe and the one in this book looks very similar. The recipe for Funnel Cakes definitely needs adult assistance because you are frying batter in hot oil. So, some of these recipes do need adult supervision. At the start of the recipe, there is a note about parental supervision where needed. Might arrive with a USA Cookie Cutter. The inside front cover has a recipe for All-American Sugar Cookies and says you can use the attached cookie cutter with this recipe. Completely filled with color illustrations and delicious recipes kids and adults will love making. ~The Rebecca Review
