Kids in the Kitchen Vegetarian Style!

This vegetarian cookbook is designed for kids to use. It has simple instructions with illustrated steps for each dish.

Inside, the author has unique items such as Eye Love Bread which really looks like a giant eye, Pea-camole that is reminiscent of guacamole, but without avocados, and cheesy crackers in the shape of rabbits.

Inside, you will find recipes for things that might be expected such as salads, spaghetti and even veggie burgers. But other things have familiar names but unexpected ingredients.

For instance, there is a smoothie made with cauliflower, scones made with strawberries and beets, along with cupcakes that include peas.

The author attests that all these things are delicious, and to give them a try. He is really concerned that children eat healthy, so he has worked to make things that will appeal to a child’s palate.

Mr. Atherton does eat milk, cheese, and eggs, so those things are a part of his recipes.

The illustrated directions make it easy to put these dishes together—everything written is geared to a child's level. All the recipe pages are bright and big which will encourage them to be made. The author has made it fun to cook. Kids in grades seven to ten will enjoy this five-star book.

Synergy: Vegetarian

A VEGETARIAN is a person who chooses not to eat meat such as fish, beef, pork, and chicken. Some vegetarians don’t eat animal products such as dairy or eggs. The term is also used to describe meals or places that exclude animal products.

Working in pairs, ask children to create two menus for the day, one traditional and one vegetarian.
