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.
VERDICT Libraries will want to find a place for this collection of fun eats for young vegetarian cooks with adventurous palettes.
