[COMMUNICATED CONTENT] Don’t let your children complain about boredom this summer! Instead, send them to the kitchen with a copy of Kids Cooking Made Easy by Leah Schapira and Victoria Dwek. Filled with over 60 recipes, each with a full color image and helpful tips, Kids Cooking Made Easy is the perfect way to keep your children entertained – and learning – during the long summer months.
Schapira and Dwek, both mothers of young children themselves, will hold your kid’s hand and guide them through the process of learning to cook. “Kids Cooking Made Easy is a picky eater solution,” says author Victoria Dwek. “Kids either become more open-minded when they see how something is prepared, or they learn to prepare their own favorites.” Aside from kitchen skills, learning to cook has hidden educational benefits. As author Leah Schapira points out, “Children learn about math and fractions when following a recipe.” They also learn to read and follow instructions – all while having a good time!
Do your children know what it means to sauté something? Or what a Dutch oven is? They will after reading this innovative cookbook. Each page contains a cooking school section, where young readers will learn the difference between baking soda and baking powder. They’ll discover what it means to marinate chicken or tenderize meat, and bread making will be simplified with lessons on yeast and egg wash. Clever icons next to the ingredients help clarify the instructions and ensure the book is informative.
Aside from the educational aspect, your kids will have a blast – and eat well while they’re at it. With great summer recipes like Teriyaki Beef Sticks, Peach and Mango Salad and Creamsicle Sorbet and fun crafts and edible activities such as Edible Sand Art and Homemade Button Candy, Kids Cooking Made Easy will become your child’s favorite part of the summer…but don’t be surprised if you find yourself sneaking a turn with it too!
