"Cooking for millions
of television viewers is a breeze compared to cooking
for my two six year-olds at home. I am thrilled that
Kate Heyhoe has written a book just for me. Cooking
With Kids For Dummies is more than a book filled
with fun recipes. It offers nutritional tips and cooking
techniques that are designed especially for those of
us who have little ones around the kitchen. The family
that cooks together stays together and with this book,
we can do it with so much fun."

"Wow! Finally
someone with the insight to begin at the beginning with
cooking! What better way to bring out the chef in a
child than with the sights and sounds of the kitchen:
whips in the bowl, blenders buzzing and hands in the
dough. A child side-by-side in the kitchen with his
parent is a scrumptious combination. Cooking With
Kids For Dummies is the perfect ingredient to convert
master mess-makers to master chefs."
-- Chef John

"Gathered from
Kate Heyhoe's pioneering food sites on America Online
and the Web, Cooking With Kids For Dummies reflects
the voices of real parents and kids. This book contains
more than recipes and cooking tips -- it shows how to
turn the simple acts of cooking, shopping, and dining
together into household keywords for family togetherness."
-- Steve Case,
Chairman and CEO, America Online, Inc. |
"Now let's face
it squarely...I'm sitting here very close to my 65th
birthday, having just helped my four year old granddaughter
Jessica to make stuffed eggs (stuffed eggs would not
have been my first choice, but it was Christmas!). She
did all the measuring and squeezed the piping bag...not
bad either! What fun it is to cook with a new generation
and what a joy now to have a brilliant new book like
this to use to be ultimately creative and to pass on
a passion for life and its healthy pleasures to a child!"

"Like millions
of moms, I want to prepare delicious, nutritious meals
for my family, and after working all day in the restaurant,
I also want to spend quality time with my sons. Cooking
together is the natural solution. But in the kitchen,
you need the proper tools to do the job well; Cooking
With Kids For Dummies is just the tool to get you
started."
