Cooking with Mother Goose

Book excerpt: Cooking with Mother Goose is a one-of-a-kind storybook cookbook that invites parents and their children to discover delicious foods and the beloved nursery rhymes that inspire them? though this book offers so much more. You'll find beautifully illustrated nursery rhymes and tasty, nutritious recipes with photos. Expect to make precious memories, lots of little messes, and build a positive relationship between your little ones, cooking, and food.Cooking with Mother Goose isn't a cookbook simply for parents to help them prepare healthy meals for kids. Nor is it an instructional manual for parents to help teach their children to cook. Instead, it's an adventure in reading classic nursery rhymes through a new lens and bringing them to life by cooking and connecting as a family. Just as reading books aloud together brings a sense of closeness with our children, so does cooking-and playing-with food in the kitchen. Cooking together can strengthen your emotional bond while you read, talk, measure, and make messes over creating a dish. And that teaches important life lessons about food, mealtime, and nourishment of the body and of the family. Not to mention, it creates memories.
