This book has some interesting recipes I never would have thought to make on my own. I love that the book points out the best jobs for kids to do in each recipe. They can follow along and their confidence will be bolstered by making a contribution to the family meal or snack. I love how proud the kids are when they help with something “grown up”. Cooking or baking is an awesome way to spend quality time with your little ones.
