[.ca] Emeril's There's a Chef in My Soup!: Recipes for the Kid ... (ISBN 0688177069)

From Amazon.com:
"Notches-Unknown PBJ," "Gone Fishin' Fish Sticks," "Pokey Brownies," "Make-Lots-of-Friends Oven-Baked French Fries." Even the pickiest eaters will perk up their ears at these irresistible dishes from acclaimed chef and TV personality Emeril Lagasse. Packed with 75 fun, tasty, and even healthy recipes, the New Orleans chef's cookbook for kids is sure to inspire feats of culinary greatness in the youngest aspiring epicure. The big, colorful volume features clear, step-by-step instructions with a strong emphasis on safety, preparation, cleanliness, and fun. Sidebars provide the yield, ingredients, and tools needed for each recipe, and small pictures illustrate some of the trickier steps, demonstrating, for example, how to brush the "Cheesy Star Snacks" with egg white before baking. A prominently placed Caution bar at the top of the page uses icons (knife, flame, oven mitt, etc.) to let young cooks know how careful they need to be. The exuberant chef sprinkles his well-known Emerilisms--"kick it up," "oh yeah, baby," "bam!"--throughout the pages, and clever illustrations by Charles Yuen use photos of Emeril's head with cartoonish drawings of his body and the foods he celebrates. Grownup readers who have enjoyed Emeril's other cookbooks (Prime Time Emeril, etc.) will love sharing their favorite wacky chef--and some kitchen time--with the kids in their lives. (Ages 9 to 12) --Emilie Coulter

great cookbook !!:
My niece brought this book over on her school break & we made 9 or 10 recipes & thought they were great. The cinnamon rolls, mac & cheese, apple muffins & the salad dressings to name a few. My niece ( almost 13) did most of the cooking herself with very little guidance from me. Great cookbook for kids & adults!!

Real Cooking for Families!:
I love this kids' cookbook! I don't own it yet, but I checked it out from the library. It begins with a great intro to cooking and actually has a lot of meal recipes rather than mostly snacks & desserts. Emeril doesn't make use of a lot of canned food or instant convenience junk...This is Real Food! My kids (10, 7, & 6) had a lot of fun making the spaghetti & meatball recipe, and it made alot. (Which is good as there are 7 in our family.) This is the best kids cookbook I've seen.

Love the Pork Fat!:
I've watched Emeril on TV for years. I watch closely as his recipes come out flawless. I've always wondered - is it the cook or the recipe. His talent aside - this book is great. The recipies are TV like. Enjoy.

Love it...:
This was a fun book to do with the Grandkids. It's about having fun and spendingtime together. Emeril made this cook book easy and simple and yet the photos were fun as well. I would love to see more books on the market like this. It's about family time and not just eating... 5 Stars Emeril HAPPY HAPPY Customer

Let's get real:
What's with all the five star reviews? Wow. I'm going with two stars because this book is made for kids and does a good job at attracting kids with all its funny pictures. But come on. These are total common sense recipes. If you are getting it for the pictures and for kids to laugh, fine. But for cooking (even for kids), no way. And it is a cookbook rather than just another kids' picture book, right? Seriously, the recipe for "Eat a Pita Pizza" is "buy a package of pitas, jarred spaghetti sauce and shredded cheese. Put pitas on tray, put sauce on pitas, put cheese on pitas, put tray in oven at 350% and cook until cheese bubbles". Now, do you really want to spend hard earned money on that? The recipes are really very insulting. Bam!
