Mommy & Me Cookbook: Recipes for Kid-Size Ovens

Rating:
Summary: Great idea, appealing recipes, but be forewarned!
Review: I am having at least as much fun playing with my daughter's new Easy-Bake oven as she is, but ugh, those nasty mixes! I couldn't wait to try out some real recipes, and the ones in this cute little cookbook are very appealing. I'm not much of a baker, but the tiny spoons included with the book made it easy to measure just the right amount of all the ingredients. Unfortunately, I found out the hard way that not all the recipes are sized just right for the pan, and cleaning out an Easy-Bake is not easy or fun at all. To her credit, the author responded to my email with a note that most of the recipes will fill more than one pan, and to fill each pan only halfway. In my opinion, that is the sort of information that belongs in the cookbook, but now that you have read it here, you can safely use the book. Good luck!

Summary: Beyond the refill mixes!!!
Review: This is one super cookbook. It has loads of ideas to expand on from your favorite light bulb oven. Many ideas that you can keep basic or change a bit. Kids love this oven (boys, too, readers) so if your child likes to cook get this as a functional accompaniment to the Easy bake oven. The tiny measuring spoons are great, too!

Summary: Very useful, well written cookbook kids can read and use too
Review: We received a light bulb oven for Christmas and I had read these reviews about how great this book was. So Santa left this book too, and it has been so fun. My kids will eat anything that comes out of the oven, and they have fun mixing their own recipes and even their own dinners! I knew I didn't want to buy the very expensive mixes to go with the oven, and this book is definitely a "must have" for me.

Highly recommended.
