Cooking Is Cool: Heat-Free Recipes for Kids to Cook
“Cooking is Coolmakes preparing and enjoying food with children a breeze! All recipes are heat-free, and having sampled some, I can vouch for the delicious recipes and their artful presentations.Cooking is Coolis perfectly suited to young cooks in classrooms, child care settings, or homes. I like that the food presentations are artfully pleasing to children. I especially like the little “Did You Know” information boxes, offering such facts like, “Did you know humans are the only animals to peel a banana from the stem end?” Marianne E. Dambra has perfected heat-free cooking for kids and made the learning experiences as important as the yummy results! I highly recommendCooking is Coolfor kids to enjoy learning through cooking.”—MaryAnn F.
