Guide Review - Pink Princess Cookbook
and Batter Up Kids: Delicious Desserts
. All of her recipes are both kid friendly to cook, as well as kid friendly to eat.
Since Beery runs a kids' cooking school, she knows how to write the instructions so that kids can follow them easily. An older grade-schooler can follow many of these recipes without any adult supervision. Younger ones will enjoy choosing their favorites from the delightful photos that accompany each one, and being mommy's helper during their creation.
In the Pink Princess Cookbook Beery wraps up the recipes with a girlish palette of cotton candy pastels. Although many of these treats will appeal to both boys and girls, only girls will want to go near them with names such as Magic Princess Wands and Enchanted Unicorn Horns. But that's okay. Once kids get to grade school, many parties become single gender anyway. No self-respecting, superhero loving boy would want to go to a princess tea party. Whereas little girls will simply eat up a party where the treats set the mood of their wildest princess dreams. With this book in hand, you will be able to make those dreams come true.
