Book review

Bought this for our 8 year old grandson. He loves it. With adult supervision it shows a kid how to grow, harvest, and cook their own vegetables. Shows in great detail how to set up a garden and how to take care of it. DK continues to make great books for kids to learn from and read. Highly recommended for the active kids or grandkids in your family

I love this book!

This book is a wonderful resource for families interested in growing fresh food and finding a yummy way to prepare it. We love the beautiful pictures and the simple layout. The information about how each plant grows was very helpful for our small home garden, and was simple enough for our children to understand too. The recipes are awesome - I wanted to try each one as soon as I read it! They are wholesome, simple, and delicious. I think our favorite is the "carrot and orange muffins". Overall, I highly recommend this book for anyone looking to learn about gardening and cooking with children.

Wonderful cooking with kids

Very good cookbook for kids to learn to grow food and then how to cook it. Lots of fun. I'm a school teacher and we grow a garden and then we cook what has grown. It's fun. Edith

Great Teaching Aid

My school kids have started a garden so they can have fresh vigies fo lunch after reading this book.

Fabulous Book for Kid and Parent Cooks and Gardeners Alike!

This is a really great family book for fun and learning about food and gardening. Colorfully illustrated, this book shows fruits and veggies, how to grow them, and then fun recipes to make together. Grow It, Cook It isn't just for people with lots of yard space either. It shows growing out of pots too. And even if you don't grow your own food, its really education for kids regarding HOW their favorite foods grow. The recipes are a great addition to any family all on their own. My sister in-law had one and I promptly ran out and got one for our family after flipping through it. Such a great book!
