Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

When bestselling cookbook author Mollie Katzen presented us with the idea for a cookbook for preschoolers, we were delighted. Imagine a child deep into a bowl of Green Spaghetti, Zucchini Moons, or Pretend Soup-and loving it because he made it himself. Together with her coauthor, educator Ann Henderson, Mollie believes it's never too early to introduce children to the creative world of cookery in a fun, healthful way. For small children, exploring food and cooking is not just about eating. It can also be a playful activity and a way to learn new skills. As an educational experience, consider all the things a child can learn in the kitchen: counting, symbol recognition, reading readiness, patience, self-confidence, use of tools, food literacy, and more. PRETEND SOUP brings the grown-up world of real cooking to a child'¬'s level. Each vegetarian recipe is presented on double-page spreads, two per recipe. Full of Mollie's well-loved warmth and whimsical artistry, the first spread details the ingredients, safety tips, and a familiar version of the recipe for the prep cook: the adult. The second spread presents the recipe pictorially for the child and introduces a few easy-to-read words-your child moves from the usual role of helper to head cook. Have a great time-we did Educators, please visit our Resources section, above, for teaching guides and curricula.

Synopsis:

Pretend Soup lets young children put on the chef's hat with a grown-up there to help and guide. Together with an early childhood educator, Mollie Katzen combines her renowned cooking talents and her whimsical artistry in a recipe collection that is sure to excite budding young chefs--and teach them a thing or two along the way.

My daughter's favorite cookbook. As a parent, I like it because it has real recipes and real food (ie. healthy food). Many cookbooks for kids are focused on cute food and sweets. This one is clear enough for my 8-year-old to follow, but with food that is good for her and interesting to all of us. Her favorite is making pretzels out of the bread dough, though she's still working on the correct temperature of water for the yeast. But I prefer a few not-quite-successes if it leads her toward real cooking.
