The Cooking With Kids Cookbook — Lynn Walters, Jane Stacey, Cheryl Alters Jamison, Deborah Madison & Gabrielle Gonzales

For more than 20 years, Santa Fe, New Mexico-based nonprofit organization Cooking with Kids (see link below) has educated thousands of children to make healthy eating choices through hands-on learning with fresh, affordable foods from diverse cultures.

Written for families to use together, The Cooking With Kids Cookbook includes the organization's most enthusiastically kid-tested dishes, along with tips for engaging children in the kitchen and in the garden.

Kids can even pick up a pencil or a crayon and do fun and educational activities right inside the book.

Working in collaboration with two of the country's top chefs and food authors, Deborah Madison and Cheryl Alters Jamison, in a community known globally for its food,  The Cooking With Kids Cookbook features more than sixty-five recipes from different cultures — among them South American Llapingachos, Minestrone, and Coconut Rice Balls, to name a few. The authors have created tasty, nutritious meals and snacks that teach children how to help plan, prepare, and cook meals.

This book will show parents and caregivers that kids will enjoy a broad array of foods when they chop, measure, mix, and—of course—eat with pleasure!
