What these famous chef-parents have to say about YOU'VE GOT RECIPES ALICE WATERS: "This charming little book teaches children the principles of real food, prepared fresh from the garden."JACQUES PÉPIN: "Fun, straightforward, pragmatic and useful, YOU'VE GOT RECIPES is a great way to lure children into the kitchen, and to bring a child into the kitchen is to change his or her life forever for the better." WOLFGANG PUCK: "It's never too early to start cooking with children (or teaching them French, for that matter). YOU'VE GOT RECIPES is more than a kids' cookbook; it teaches them about ingredients and cooking techniques, but it never talks down, and the recipes will appeal to the entire family. I will certainly use Jerry and Françoise's cookbook with my two young children; whether we begin with the Cheese Puffs or go right to the Éclairs, they're going to have a ball, and so will I." A cast of whimsically illustrated, internet-savvy animal characters, residing in San Francisco and Paris, teach children the art of cooking in this book. The recipes were selected and tested by the authors' grandchildren who love to cook. Authors Françoise Kirkman, a Paris trained artist, and Jerry Di Vecchio, a food editor for four decades, worked together at Sunset magazine where they produced numerous popular children's cooking and crafts stories. Both now write for other magazines and books. Their French-American connection and Cleo, a real pet raccoon, inspired this story.This book proves that kids can do amazing things, with and without assistance, to make superb food for families and friends. YOU'VE GOT RECIPES is divided into chapters from appetizers to desserts, alternating between French and California cuisine, with bilingual additions and a pronunciation glossary.
