Green Kids Cook

This cookbook equips young cooks with over 50 adaptable recipes, promoting healthy eating and environmental awareness in a fun, engaging way.

In Green Kids Cook, Jenny Chandler returns to inspire the next generation of chefs with over 50 easy and adaptable recipes. After her previous focus on classic family recipes in Cool Kids Cook, she now emphasizes the importance of healthy eating, self-care, and environmental awareness. This book not only teaches children how to cook but also encourages them to think critically about their food choices and their impact on the planet. With engaging spreads on the environment and fun craft projects, Green Kids Cook is designed to make cooking an enjoyable and educational experience.

The book addresses the growing interest in veganism and vegetarian cooking, incorporating a variety of vegetables, grains, pulses, nuts, and seeds. While not exclusively plant-based, it offers guidance on using sustainable meat and fish options. With rising obesity levels and related health concerns, Green Kids Cook aims to get kids excited about eating more vegetables. By allowing children to take charge in the kitchen, the book fosters a sense of independence and responsibility regarding their dietary choices.

Unlike her earlier work, Cool Kids Cook, which centered on classic recipes and techniques, Green Kids Cook focuses on sustainable cooking practices. It features a wide range of recipes, including breakfasts, snacks, soups, salads, mains, and sweets. This cookbook is not just a collection of recipes; it is an empowering resource that encourages kids to learn, experiment, and have fun in the kitchen while making environmentally conscious decisions.
