Reviews

"From the people who know kids' cooking best, the most wonderful family-friendly cookbook in years."--Mark Bittman, author of How to Cook Everything
"I can't say enough good things about the The ChopChop Family Cookbook! It offers kids and families everything they need to start cooking together--delicious and diverse recipes, easy-to-follow instructions, and lots of informative and interesting food facts. The book never talks down to kids or treats recipes like they're set in stone, instead empowering young chefs to experiment and improvise after they've mastered basic skills. I can't think of a better cookbook to teach this important life skill, setting children up for a lifetime of healthy, happy eating."--Bettina Elias Siegel, author of Kid Food: The Challenge of Feeding Children in a Highly Processed World
"What a fresh, colorful, inviting book! There are so many compelling ideas - accessible, appealing, and joyfully doable. The explanations take just the right tone, so that children and their grownups will fall in love with cooking while learning both techniques and nutrition wisdom. I can't wait to try some of these myself. Well-done!"--Mollie Katzen, author of Moosewood Cookbook and the children's classic, Pretend Soup
