Reviews
Can't think of anything for the kid's lunches? Here are some ideas -- and easy to make, too. hmmm. I'm afraid not too many are suitable for school lunchbags, but they make great do-it-yourself treats for weekends. Especially if your kids have friends over. They can make it a group project. Fun. And -- nice. The Glossary of cooking terms (and tips on how to do things easily) is in the front of the book. Handy. Then pictures of kitchen tools. You say HERO and I say SUB and they're both the same thing -- so this book calls them: Super Hero Subs. Smart. What Is a Walkaround Taco? You get you 4 small bags of corn chips. You add your taco ingredients to the bag and -- boom! You have a Walkaround Taco. (Remind them not to throw the fork away when they toss the empty bag.) -http: //wendieold.blogspot.com/2008/09/nonfiction-monday-walk-around-tacos.html-- Wendie's Wanderings Each book has creative endpapers depicting kitchen supplies, an editor's note advising adult help and supervision during preparation, opening material that consists of a brief description of the government's new MyPyramid, cooking tips and terms, a conversion chart, and labeled drawings of the tools needed to complete the recipes. The 13 dishes in each volume (divided into easy, intermediate, and advanced sections) have catchy titles sure to pique the interest of budding chefs, such as Holiday Snowflakes (S'mores), Prepare-to-Share Salad (Meatballs), and Hot Dog Pizza Boats (Tacos). Every recipe has color illustrations of tools and steps for that dish, the number of servings, preparation time, and this recipes includes icon(s) (showing grains, milk, etc.). There are loads of meals to try-roll-ups, pita pockets, couscous, pasta, fish, turkey, potatoes, lemonade, popcorn, chocolate fondue, decorated cookies, and more. Notes ( Lemons contain vitamin C ) and food facts ( Wonton wrappers are similar to pasta ) are included in some entries. These titles will be popular additions.-- School Library Journal
