Recommendation for Cookbook for Picky 7 Yo and 4 Yo

I have a great kids' cookbook called "Kosher By Design- Kids in the Kitchen" that I really love. A 4 and 7 year old will not be able to cook independently, but the recipes are pretty simple and easy for kids to follow, and they can do a lot of the measuring, mixing, etc. themselves. The recipes are delicious and cover everything from appetizers, desserts, snacks, etc. I use some of them as my own go-to recipes all the time!

Don't worry, you don't have to keep kosher to cook from it :)

Sesame Street makes some fun cookbooks. I have also never been steered wrong by Betty Crocker and found this one...http://www.amazon.com/Betty-Crocker-Kids-Cook-Editors/dp/... You can click to look at the table of contents. It looks as if there are many foods and even some crafty type things like paint and dough type activities to make from kitchen items.

I love cooking projects with kids (I do home childcare so we do quite a few). Not only do they get to have a vested interest in the meal they are going to eat, but its a great activity for math and science. Alot of numbers and mixing and following directions.

Thinking I might find that one for my crew!!
Have fun!

I have a cookbook called "The Big Book of Family Dinners" that I got at my bridal shower, but I use it ALL THE TIME now to cook for my family. It's organized into sections by main ingredient -- chicken, beef, fish, vegetarian, etc, and has one recipe per page with a huge, beautiful picture. My daughter loves to leaf through it to pick a meal that looks good. The ingredients are common and easy to find, nothing too crazy or exotic. It's not explicitly for kids, but maybe it would work?

Here's a link to it on amazon:
