My husband and I have been supporting Michelle since she told me she wanted to do a book. She has been so super supportive of me and all my projects so now it is her turn to soak it in. It finally happened a book was born and we got to be a big part of the making of it! Matthew photographed and I styled the recipes and we had a great time doing it. When you get two Jewish girls who love food together how can you NOT have a good time?
I wanted to do a review of this book but since it is really for kids we decided our daughter would do a great job.
Claire decided on the Baked Apple Puff recipe because she loves apples and most of it was at her skill level. You could have it for breakfast for breakfast dessert, which is what we did. You have to have breakfast dessert on Sunday, it's law. It would be delicious along with some pork chops and a salad for dinner too.
In the book each task is notated with a color code to make sure the task is age appropriate, we loved this feature. We also loved how the book was easy to read and had lots of hints and eco tips.
We shot this video very off the cuff on a Sunday morning and Claire is quite taken with seeing herself in the camera. (notice staring child) You may notice the video is a bit long, that is due to my lack of video editing skills, I know know that there is a learning curve!! Watch our video to the end because there are some dancing monkeys you won't want to miss. Next we are going to make the Nutella Lace Cookies, but not for breakfast or even breakfast dessert!

My girls love to crack eggs. They do a pretty good job given the fact that they're 2 1/2 and almost 4. :) Thanks for a chance to win. The cookbook looks great!

Claire is a fierce whisker. I think I need to get that cookbook so our whole family can enjoy it together!
This looks like a great cookbook! both my boys love to help in the kitchen (I really need more space). They like to do everything from crack eggs to whisk, but i think their favorite is to taste!
this video made me miss you too much. maybe i'll have to make an apple puff. good job to claire and her dancing monkey.
My daughter loves to roll out pizza dough. Flour goes everywhere but we have a lot of fun. She's always proud of her dough. I'm looking forward to finding the cookbook locally.
Wonderful! Aidan loves to pretend cook -- can't wait to see him in action in the "real" kitchen! :)
