Review: First the positive. For critique, see pulled pork and coconut-lime popsicles, below. This book is what I hoped it would be; for special cooking. I gave it to my son for his 9th birthday. He is very independent in the kitchen for someone his age. However, many of the recipes still involve a lot of adult guidance. My son spent the first couple days just reading through the recipes, bookmarking the ones he wanted to try first. We planned a grocery trip and bought the ingredients. Many ingredients are not on-hand in your pantry. (I'm fairly adventurous, but we still live on a budget). So, for example, I have cumin and coriander, but not in seed form. I don't have a mortar and pestle, though I'd like to get one now. I don't know what Maldon flake salt is, so we used table salt instead. I love the use of fresh ingredients throughout. Recipes we've made: Salsa - delicious! Tomatoes, cilantro, lime, jalapeno, red onion, cumin, pepper. Alot of chopping, so this is mostly an adult-recipe. **I wish the reason to wear gloves was given. We found out the hard way when my son rubbed his eyes while handling jalapeno. It sounds obvious now, but I had no experience with hot peppers. and this is a child's book. Fruit smoothies Pulled Pork - Here's my negative critique. Recipe calls for cooking it at 325 degrees, uncovered, no liquid. I would think to cook much lower, with liquid and covered. but maybe dry-roasting is good, I don't know, so the only change I made was to cook it at 300, but otherwise, I followed the recipe. It was okay, but it could be better. Next time, I'm going to cook at 225, cover, and add liquid. The dry rub was good. We toasted and ground cumin seed and coriander seed. The aroma of toasted coriander is amazing! My son kept saying it smelled like tea. My 6 yo rubbed it onto the raw pork shoulder. Ricotta cheese & jam toast - The magic ingredient was lemon zest. My son made this recipe by himself right away. He was very proud. Roasted rosemary carrots Coconut-lime popsicles - An inedible, curdled disaster. I have no idea how to avoid the curdling. Banana 'Ice Cream' - This is why I love this book. My kids were excited about frozen, mushed up bananas. Review: Such a handy cook book for kids. The only thing I'd change is having some more everyday recipes and pictures for all the recipes since kids like to see what they are making. But it's not enough of an issue to take away a star.
