I think that a lot of parents like the idea of having their kids help them in the kitchen. Not only can it be good, fun "family time," but it is more educational and more stimulating than sitting in front of the TV. Williams-Sonoma Kids in the Kitchen: Fun Food is a cookbook with 25 kid-friendly recipes for ages 8 and up, though the recipes and text are easy enough for younger kids to understand as long as there is a parent around share some of the workload.

The primary goal of the book is to use step-by-step photos to teach kids some popular, basic recipes and the culinary skills needed to make the dishes. Most of the recipes have variations suggested, which will give kids a chance to be a little more creative once they get the hand of cooking. The six chapters cover "kid classics," noodles/pasta, roasting/baking, vegetable sides, sandwiches and after-school snacks. Each chapter is peppered with tips and alerts, which will both help to prevent mishaps in the kitchen and to clean them up if they do occur.

Williams-Sonoma has some of the recipes online, including Sesame Fish Sticks, Lasagna, Sautéed Green Beans, Turkey Wrap and a Strawberry Smoothie,
