. . .these titles provide solid foundations, familiarizing children with the kitchen before featuring the recipes. Each introduction has an overview of cooking basics, safety tips, and how to use the microwave, framing a picture of a child cooking with an adult “helper.” Measuring tips and equivalents follow, along with pictures of cooking terms and kitchen tools, and then an ingredients list for the dishes (nine in each book). True to the “no-bake” criteria, the only heat involved comes from a microwave, making the majority of the food vegetarian by default. . . .The books will get kids comfortable with cooking.
