Can I Help?

This book is about using cooking to find ways to spend time and bond with children. The recipes are for adult dishes which are enjoyed by children, but all have been carefully selected , and often modified, to require only basic kitchen skills and experience, just a normal degree of supervision of the children, yet provide many tasks for a child to do to keep he or she busy, involved and interested. Because the recipes are kept simple, the book can also be used as a training manual for older children and teens allowing them to progress to the more difficult tasks. For the challenged adult who needs to pitch-in, or perhaps wants to cook a special meal with the children, it's an excellent guide. Included in the introduction are instructions for safe-handling of poultry and with the individual recipes are suggested substitutions for ethnic diets. Among the dishes to be sampled are Oven Pancakes, Frittatas, Tuna and Bean Salad, Strata Burger, Beef Kabobs, Cornish Hens with wild rice and white grapes, fruit filled meringue "Angel Nests" and Zebra Cake. These recipes plus 96 more are simplified and easily made, but oh, so delicious. . In fact, since all are calculated to serve 4, this might become a go-to book for family meals.
