While I though this book would be more after school snacks there were a lot of every time recipes. I was especially inspired by the sauces which could be used with many things.

This is a fun, friendly guide to bring kids into the kitchen. Learning to cook is an important skill that's no longer taught in most schools. These recipes invite kids to learn to cook, to be creative, and to share their treats and snacks with friends. I'll be buying this book for my grandsons when they're a little older.

Beautiful pictures, easy recipes and easy for children. This is a book that makes everyone who reads it hungry. Children will love it as well as their parents or other adults.
