Book Nook: Better Homes & Gardens New Junior Cookbook

The newest edition of the of the best-selling Better Homes & Gardens NEW JUNIOR COOKBOOK is published! This updated book is great for introducing children ages 6 to 10 to the kitchen and teaching them how to cook. All 60 recipes in this edition are brand-new, kid-tested and approved, and nutritious as well as fun. You can read more about the cookbook below.

I had a chance to review this book, and I like the layout. It starts with tips on safety and navigating the kitchen, with bright and colorful illustrations that keep kids engaged and add to the information. The book is divided into themed chapters that touch on a popular kid interest as well as a type of food. The recipes also reinforce positive messages about food, cooking, and fuel for the body and each one includes nutrition information. The recipes are easy for kids to follow, with simple ingredients most kitchens will have (or be easily able to find). They're also clear on what equipment is needed, so kids can have all the necessary things on hand before beginning.

Besides the basics, the sections are:

• Super-Power Breakfasts is packed with recipes to help fuel your day!

• Feel-the-Beat Lunches will leave your kids singing with new favorites.
• Sportin’ Around Suppers continue the fun and games.

• Fast-Fueling Snacks are perfect for an after-school energy boost. 

• And you can’t forget Make-Believe Desserts! 

The fully revised and updated 8^th edition of the Better Homes & GardensNEW JUNIOR COOKBOOK is sure to bring the fun—and the fundamentals—of cooking to kids ages 6 to 10.
