an entertaining book

Herb, the Vegetarian Dragon, has published a book of recipes for children! Cooking With Herb the Vegetarian Dragon: A Cookbook for Kids is an entertaining book containing 22 recipes that children can make – with the help or supervision of grown-ups. This book is a nice companion to Herb, The Vegetarian Dragon. In this book Herb serves up various, nutritious dishes including "Grand-Ma-Ma-Flora's Spaghetti Sandwich," "Herb's Chili Con 'No' Carne," "Herb's 'Those Amazing Potatoes,'" "The King's Favorite Veggie-Burger," "Herb's Radical Dragon-Salsa," "Chocolate Banana Walnut Bread" and "Herb's Simple Strawberry Slush." Each recipe contains easy-to-follow directions and tips as well as a fun introduction about the recipe. Some safety rules are also included at the beginning of the book. While the recipes contained in this book are for vegetarians, several of the recipes contain no ingredients from animals and many other recipes could be easily modified for a vegan diet. –Reviewed by Glenn Perrett (...)

A Wonderful book series!

Jules Bass and Debbie Harter have executed a wonderful couple of books on HERB, THE VEGETARIAN DRAGON. Let's hope these are the first of many. Have always enjoyed and admired the work of Jules Bass and am enjoying the art of Ms. Harter. My hats off to both of you! GREAT book to give for the holidays!

Cooking With Herb: The Vegetarian Dragon

My daughter (who was 5 at the time) and I saw Herb on TV Food Network about a year or so ago and she loved him. She insisted on me getting the cookbook for her (a 5 year old wanting to cook - how cool is that?). The cookbook is fun, colorful, educational, and best of all easy to understand for kids and the recipes are fantastic! She insists on cooking the recipes with me all the time - the only way I can get her to eat anything! And when it comes from Herb's cookbook, it's a guaranteed hit with her!

Veggie Dragon Herb makes it easy for kids to cook.

As the author and recipe writer of Cooking With Herb, the firstthing I would like to say is that you don't have to be a vegetarianto have fun cooking with Herb, The Vegetarian Dragon. With a little help from his friends Rosie-Rose, Gorse and his beloved Grand-Ma-Ma-Flora, Herb demonstrates that vegetarian food can be just as delicious as meat-based dishes.Cooking With Herb is both a cookbook and a storybook combined. Along with recipes such as Chili Con "No" Carne, Party Pasta For A Herd Of Dragons, Herb's amazing potatoes, Chocolate Banana Walnut Bread and sixteen others, it's designed for kids and their parents to have fun together. And remember, the recipes are not just for kids - they're ones I cook for myself and my friends. So, I hope that everyone will join in. Some kids will be able to prepare them by themselves while others will need some help. Each recipe comes with a story of how Herb invented it, some of his "Hot Tips" and comments from dragons in the forest who are not vegetarians; especially MeatHook, who is a confirmed meat eater but is nevertheless tempted by Herb's cooking. Artist Debbie Harter brings it all to life with her colorful, original and active illustrations.
