Kitchen for Kids

While spending time in the kitchen with her 4-year-old son, food editor Jennifer Low discovered how much children love to cook, but how woefully short most kids' recipes fell in helping children to actually do the work. So she wrote 'Kitchen For Kids'.

This recipe collection is a mix of delicious classics, such as One-Egg Chocolate Cake and Baby Lemon Meringue Pies, plus works of whimsy such as Swirly Marbles and a no-cook candy that looks just like multicolored glass baubles. However the recipes are not just about creating treats. Paddy Thai is an oven baked version of Pad Thai noodles and One-Potato-Two Bread is a puffy loaf of exquisite yeast bread that doesn't take long to make yet tastes like bakery bread. Each recipe is easy, yet each one is 'real' recipe that's been designed for kids.

The recipes do not require sharp knives, the exposed burners of the stove top or small electric appliances. it's about going back to basics to simplify kids' cooking. A sturdy whisk is all they need to stir up a feathery cake batter. 'Kitchen For Kids' was created by a mother who knows what kids and parents want.
