Thank you Susie Fishbein. It's now a year later and he still enjoys eating things he prepares himself. He loved the easy instructions and the illustrations that made the food look tasty, and began making his own meals. He has several favorites he often uses. My 10 year old son was always an extremely picky eater. I must credit this book with helping the situation and giving him a new hobby. For any special occasion, he pulls out his Kosher By Design cookbook and decides what he wants to make.
the illustrations in this cookbook are incredible, vivid and beautiful. great for kids and adults alike- or as a picture book.
I GIVE IT TO EVERY NEW BRIDE AND I GAVE IT TO MY CHILDREN TO USE WITH THEIR CHILDREN. I LOVE THIS BOOK. THE RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS ARE SO DESCRIPTIVE THAT EVEN A NOVICE CAN ENJOY COOKING AND BAKING.THIS BOOK SHOULD BE IN EVERYONE'S BOOKCASE.
My mom has one of the other books (short on time) and those recipes are a bit too advanced for my very limited skillset. The recipes are easy to follow and the results are delicious. I love this book. Forget the kids.I'm 40+ years old and this is the 'starter cookbook' I've always wanted. The kids have helped with some of the recipes but more often it winds up just me and the cookbook but I love the simplicity.
My kids were obviously not experienced enough to realize that the amount of butter is way out of proportion, so their "cookies" melted all over the oven. The Oatmeal Raisinette Cookies recipe calls for 2 and 1/2 sticks of butter and only 1 egg, 1 and 1/2 cups of flour, and 3/4 cup of oatmeal. I won't let them use this book again unless I examine the recipe carefully first myself. This is a beautiful cookbook and my daughter loves it. However, when I let my two kids bake alone for the first time they made a bad choice. Needless to say, I'm disappointed that the book wasn't more carefully edited.
