Children's Literature

Paula Deen shares her love of cooking with her youngest audience members in this cookbook designed especially for children. In her cookbook, Deen speaks to adults, who cook with children, offering advice in a brief introduction; she also provides a table of contents, guidelines for kitchen safety, measuring and setting a table, a glossary of cooking terminology (such as: broil, dice, melt, mince, saute, and whisk, to name a few), a lesson in good manners and an index. Mitchell's cute and detailed illustrations add to the clearly explained instructions, and an additional feature, not commonly seen in other cookbooks, pictures that accompany each ingredient on the list and each tool needed for every recipe. The recipes are divided into eight sections, which include: breakfast, lunch, snack, birthdays, cooking for parents, holidays, drinks and arts and crafts. Any parent who loves to cook and wishes to share his/her love for culinary delights with his/her child should own this delightful cookbook. Reviewer: Jamaica Johnson Conner
