My A-Z Recipe Box: An Alphabet of Recipes for Kids

From an early age, I always dreamed of writing my own cookbook. In 2007, thanks to a bit of luck, a lot of hard work, and the support of Chronicle Books, that dream was realized with the release of My A-Z Recipe Book.

From Ants in My Applesauce to Zany Zucchini Sticks, these 26 recipes offer young chefs a wide variety of hands-on cooking adventures. Each recipe has clear, simple steps that children will find easy to follow and in the process, they’ll learn about the foods they enjoy and practice skills like following directions and measuring, too. Developed while I was teaching kids’ cooking classes, and perfected at home with my own children, these tasty (but still healthy) recipes offer plenty of fun times in the kitchen for young chefs and their families!
