Praise for Cooking With Kids For Dummies

Martin Yan

"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."

      -- Martin Yan, Yan Can Cook

"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 D. Folse, CEC, AAC, and former president of the American Culinary Federation

Steve Case

"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!"

      -- Graham Kerr, International Culinary Consultant

Mary Sue Milliken

"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."

      -- Chef Mary Sue Milliken, co-host of Food Network's Two Hot Tamales, cookbook author, and owner of Border Grill and Ciudad restaurants in Los Angeles and Las Vegas
