Revered chef Pepin and his granddaughter Shorey recently appeared together on the KQED network television series Jacques Pepin Heart & Soul. Their time cooking together inspired this collection, which aims to bring families closer and to maximize fun for young children. Recipes include ultrasimple crowd-pleasers (curly dogs with pickle relish, meringues) as well as palate-expanding gourmet foods (Chinese mushroom salad, sushi salmon cubes), and while a touch more refined than those in other cookbooks for kids, they're perfect for parents who want to jump-start their child's gastronomic education. Retailer Sur La Table has sponsored a series of online videos to accompany this book, which will help readers to visualize various cooking and garnishing techniques.
VERDICT Easy enough to prepare every day, these kid-friendly recipes will also satisfy adults.
