Salad People by Mollie Katzen, author of Pretend Soup and the Moosewood Cookbook, is a fun cookbook for pre-schoolers and up, packed with fun, healthy recipes.

Children as young as three can roll up their sleeves and cook real food with pleasure and pride! This sequel to Pretend Soup features 20, new child-tested recipes including such delicacies as Counting Soup, Chewy Energy Circles, Corny Corn Cakes and Polka Dot Rice.

Each illustrated recipe subtly exercises a child's food literacy and reading readiness while offering an opportunity to count, measure, mix, assemble and most importantly, have fun.

Designed as do-together projects - with the child as chef and the adult as assistant - these kitchen adventures will give children confidence in their cooking skills and inspire a life-long, healthy relationship with food. You will also find safety tips, a discussion of what children gain from cooking and kitchen rules from kid cooks themselves.

Award-winning illustrator and designer as well as best-selling author and food/nutrition/cultural history scholar, Mollie Katzen is best known as the creator of the vegetarian classic, Moosewood Cookbook. Katzen's much-loved children's books, Pretend Soup and Honest Pretzels, have become favorites at home and in the classroom.
