Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I purchased this cookbook for my five year old daughter for Christmas so that she could become a bigger participant in the cooking process. She already helps me make dinner most nights but I wanted her to have her own cookbook so that once a week she could pick our dinner menu, help me do the shopping, and prepare the meal (with supervision). My hope is that she can form a plan and see it through to a finished meal, all the while learning about nutrition and balanced foods. I was so excited when the box with the book arrived, but that excitement quickly turned to revulsion when I saw that most of the recipes had more than 15 grams of fat per serving and they were all the things people seem to think that kids want to eat. My daughter may only be five, but she enjoys vegetables and will eat more than chicken nuggets and hamburgers. I was looking for a teaching tool, and instead I got a cookbook that wants to undo all of the work I have done to ensure that my child eats a balanced diet full of vegetables, lean meats, and lots of flavor.
