"Claudine Pepin came to cooking naturally; her father is the chef and teacher Jacques Pepin. In this concise, elegant cookbook for children - written in English and French, and illustrated by Mr. Pepin - she does not cook down to youngsters. The recipes are simple but serious and go well beyond kid food." - The New York Times
