Product Description The Forest Feast for Kids includes the most kid-friendly favorites from The Forest Feast, along with 20 new recipes, plus ideas for kids’ parties and easy-to-follow instructions on techniques, measurements, and other helpful kitchen aides. The first children’s cookbook from New York Times bestselling author and popular food blogger Erin Gleeson, The Forest Feast for Kids, serves up kid-friendly vegetarian recipes that are quick, easy, and fun to make. This cookbook showcases the rustic simplicity of the fare through vibrant colorful photography of Gleeson’s beautiful home in the woods and of children cooking the dishes themselves. Each meal is simple and full of fresh and lively flavors that will appeal to kids. The natural beauty of Gleeson’s surroundings and the abundance of local produce serve as the inspiration for recipes such as: Pesto Pepper Pizza Rainbow Chard Quiche Kale Tacos Watermelon Smoothies In addition to its recipes—which span meals, party food, snacks, and beverages—this nonfiction book includes ideas for crafty table decoration, party ideas, an illustrated guide on kitchen safety, and a glossary of culinary terms. The recipes are complemented by a mix of stunning photographs and art, including Gleeson’s own fanciful watercolor illustrations and hand lettering. This beautifully designed kid-friendly cookbook is perfect for foodies and parents looking for healthy recipes for children. It will also appeal to fans of Erin Gleeson’s blog and The Forest Feast. Parents.com says "Have you ever wanted to crawl into a cookbook and live in its world? That’s how I feel when I page through Erin Gleeson’s gorgeous The Forest Feast for Kids." Also available from Erin Gleeson: The Forest Feast: Simple Vegetarian Recipes from My Cabin in the Woodsand The Forest Feast Gatherings. From School Library Journal Gr 5 Up—Inspired in part by the birth of her son, food photographer and artist Gleeson has written a lushly photographed and illustrated cookbook for young gourmets. Similar in style to her adult cookbook The Forest Feast, this title uses eye-catching photos and colorful watercolor drawings to illustrate every recipe. The first pages explain terms and measurements and show kitchen tools and prep techniques (how to trim kale, how to mince garlic). There are five to seven recipes in each of the five sections with four suggestions for parties that include additional theme recipes. Most recipes call for just a few ingredients. Photographs demonstrate what is meant by "make ribbons" or "cut into 1/4" slices." The dishes assume a sophisticated and adventurous palate. Adult supervision is likely necessary for some—to prepare quinoa or to know how to free the fresh pomegranate seeds for the hot cider. VERDICT A feast for the eyes, with some recipes more likely to appeal to the average child appetite than others. Likely to find its best audience in large, urban libraries and anywhere there are young vegetarian foodies.—Maggie Knapp, Trinity Valley School, Fort Worth, TX Review "With its daring flavors and a whimsical, though mature, feel, this eye-catching cookbook is ideal for young foodies." ( Booklist) “a lushly photographed and illustrated cookbook for young gourmets…uses eye-catching photos and colorful watercolor drawings to illustrate every recipe…A feast for the eyes."
