Author 47 : (Disney) What's Cooking? (from Ratatouille)

And now for a month of cookbooks! Continuing right along with the theme of "C", this month we're chosen a collection of cookbooks.

First is What's Cooking? A Cookbook For Kids from the makers of Ratatouille. We tried the French Breakfast Muffins made by Sarah and they were delicious!
Easy, ingredients already on hand, and fast. Sarah made fluffy little muffins coated in cinnamon sugar for a tasty breakfast treat from this colorful cookbook.

The recipes are not complex, don't use a bunch of pre-made ingredients (although there are a few such as English muffins for the Pizza Rats) and the recipes are actually simple and appealing enough for children to want to make them.

The full color pictures really help with some techniques and the pictures are realistic of the finished product. Our muffins looked like the picture without the slight blurriness. I wish the book had a general index either in the front or the back. At the beginning of each section, such as "Bon Matin Breakfast" and "Dinner is Served", there are individual indexes.
