TOP REVIEWS FROM CHILD NUTRITION AND COOKING
Very simple and straightforward. As a child nutrition menu & recipe consulting chef for thousands of city childern per day, I enjoyed the review of best practice. Thank You. Paul Bartlett, Baltimore
easy to follow and toy can complete the whole thing (minus if you were following along to the recipes) in less than a day the loss of a star is due to the fact that i thought it would take longer
Very informative. The presentation style was easy to follow. Loved the art work. Quiz at the end of each segment was relevant to topics presented. Recipes are easy to follow and very child friendly.
