New Favorites for New Cooks is a cookbook for kids that is in sync with the way we cook and eat now.
Food educator Carolyn Federman introduces the concepts of seasonal, organic, and local through delicious and easy recipes that kids can tackle on their own. With fresh ingredients and easy recipes, kids will learn to cook dishes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner as well as snacks, drinks, and desserts.
Recipes like Melty Pesto Paninis, Sizzling Fried Rice, Chopped Greek Salad, Sparkling Mint Limeade, and Chocolate Lava Cupcakes are filling and satisfying to make and eat, and each recipe is accompanied by beautiful and instructive photography.
