Editorial Reviews

Not a chance the boys will touch this one! It is pink from cover to cover and strictly for princesses who will enjoy recipes in chapters titled "Perfect Princess Cakes and Cookies" (nine entries); "Magical Princess Finger Foods" (seven); "Fairy Princess Breads" (four); "Sweetest Princess Treats" (five); and "Sparkling Princess Drinks" (five) plus an "Index." Stunning photographs grace almost every page, and recipes are artfully presented on pastel pages, including ingredients and directions. This decidedly girl-oriented book would even be a great gift for those older-type princesses or even Sweet Potato Queens. Recipes are often based on off-the-shelf ingredients and refrigerator-ready biscuits and pie crusts, but also include fresh fruit and yogurt. One of the most clever recipes is for fortune cookies made from ready-made pie crust folded and then folded again to encase the recipe, then heavy on the sugar sprinkles and silver-balls. Barbara Beery is also the author of Batter Up Kids: Delicious Desserts and Batter Up Kids: Sensational Snacks which are based on her Batter Up Kids children's cooking school in Austin, Texas, where she teaches cooking classes, hosts birthday parties, and helps kids get hands-on cooking experience.
