It was a sign of things to come: I flipped through that so many times, read every single recipe, fantastized about the holiday cakes and the eggs in bologne.

I cooked perhaps 2 of the recipes, my first proud achievement was bringing teddy bear claws to my Brownie troop.

The book is still floating around my mom’s house, I’ll have to grab it next time I’m there. I’d love to blog some of that…

Also related, there’s an excellent feature on kids and cooking (and kids and food, generally) on the UK’s Observer Food Monthly website,available here

Loved the article about bribing kids into trying new foods.
