Kids Cuisine

Creperies in France are popular little spots; they draw the young as easily as they entice the old. They are unique places where the sweet smell of sugar and savory taste of meat intermingle and satisfy the most finicky of palates. Most creperies are fashioned like little restaurants, specializing in dessert crepes as well as […]

I’ve already gotten the question about what my children want for Christmas. Knowing that one loves to cook, and hoping the other two will love it when they get older, I’ve been putting together a wish list for my cooking (and aspiring mini chef) kids. Here are some must-haves for your little sous chefs:

Cookbooks for […]

Attention parents: Are you interested in feeding your children healthy food, the smart and easy way? Lunch Lessons, Changing the Way We Feed our Children by Ann Cooper and Lisa M. Holmes is a must-have book. The authors are graduates of the Culinary Institute of America and are employed by educational institutions. Together they apply […]

Culinary inspiration can come from interesting sources, at least when you’re 4 years old. My kids were watching the “Samurai Pie” episode of the cute Backyardigans TV show today when my daughter asked me, in that super-sweet voice that means she wants something, “Would you show me how to make pie?”
Oh, will I? How thrilled […]

A few months ago, I told you about Spatulatta, the web videocast where two girls make interesting recipes. If you haven’t checked it out, you need to head over there right away. Your kids will love watching these two other kids prepare recipes. Plus, Isabella and Olivia are funny, and their themed recipes are often […]

Yes, that Jessica Seinfeld. The one married to funnyman Jerry Seinfeld. Although a surprising new source for recipes, her first cookbook, Deceptively Delicious, just might find its way into many homes with kids. She, like many of us, was faced with kids (Sascha, 6, Julian, 4, and Shepherd, 2) that are picky about which vegetables […]

Nick Jr. magazine recently highlighted a few cookbooks that are perfect for your little kitchen helpers.  With the holidays coming at us fast and furious, one of these might be the perfect little gift for your budding cooks.
Green Eggs and Ham Cookbook.  These off-the-wall, madcap edibles are pulled from the pages of Seuss favorites.  From […]

At a recent bookstore shopping expedition, I happened on a great cookbook for parents.
I’m always looking for meal ideas that are healthy, quick, and easy, and that are likely to actually get eaten. I found The Big Book of Recipes for Babies, Toddlers & Children, which is especially great if you have small children of […]

Belle and Liv are more commonly known in households across the web as Spatulatta. Their website is full of webcasts and recipes they cook up for their audience. The girls are charming to watch and really seem to know their way around the kitchen. What I like best about Spatulatta, though, is that […]

Two cookbook mentions back to back. This really says something about the attention that’s being paid to kids in the kitchen.
I recently ran across new cookbook that even a 7-year-old could follow. That’s because it was written by a 7-year-old. His name is Max Nania, and he’s said to have “been creating new recipes for […]
