Reviews
"Art is a process, not a product," says MaryAnn F. Kohl, who with Jean Potter is the author of this imaginative resource of 150 activities to encourage 3- to 8-year-olds to have 'edible art experiences' while developing kitchen skills. All the projects are easy, and most require no baking."
"The recipes allow plenty of room for young chefs to develop their own personal style in the kitchen ... Many of the creations require no baking and would make great edible party projects."
"...every recipe included in Cooking Art not only tastes good, it looks great. There's even a couple of recipes that show you how to make tasty, artistic treats for your pets!"
"...sure to keep the under-10 crowd amused..."
"What child wouldn't like to make, and eat, airplane cucumbers, a toastie arctic igloo, snail bread, a banana snake or an erupting lava apple? Cooking Art has all of these recipes and many more which younger children can easily make with some assistance and older kids can complete on their own.. . . This is a great book for beginning chefs."
"Did you ever see an eggplant with hair? Well I have, and you can, too, with the help of a new book designed for children ....I'd recommend the book for an interesting diversion to the humdrum cooking routine. It's ideal for beginning cooks... so entertain your little ones and guests by inviting a 'veggie guy' to your home."
"... a delightful guide to things to do in the kitchen, in summer and all year round."
