Gr 1–5—This colorful recipe book encourages children to eat a rainbow of vegetables for diverse nutritional benefits. Recipes are organized by food color, and each includes step-by step instructions with appetizing full-color photos that break up the instructions into manageable bites. The introduction covers equipment, a few foods, and basic preparation skills for items such as ginger, avocado, and garlic. Some difficult steps require grown-up assistance for younger cooks, but a reliance on store-bought crusts and doughs makes the recipes accessible for those new to the kitchen. The inclusion of food facts (for instance, eggplants are really large berries) keeps this title educational.
