New Holland Publishers Hamilton-Fairley, F: Little Cooks

Making sure that kids eat a balanced diet with plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables is not always easy, but one of the easiest ways to succeed is to have them prepare their own meals! These recipes are perfect for those just starting to learn how to cook for themselves, and really launch children into the world of creating delicious dishes. Four chapters cover breakfasts, healthy snacks and lunchboxes, family weekend meals, and suppers and party food. Each easy-to-follow recipe comes with how-to photos and a beautiful image of the finished dish. Kids will happily make additive-free cheesy bread rolls, spaghetti bolognaise (rich in tomato-ey goodness), chicken and veggie-packed pita pockets, baked spring rolls, and--because everyone needs a tasty treat--yummy brownies.
