Looking for something different to do with the kids? How about trying some cooking! The library has a great selection of cookbooks geared towards children and families. Some of them include easy recipes kids can follow all on their own (like Super Simple Dinners) while others are meant to get the whole family involved.

Want to broaden your culinary horizons while learning about other cultures? Try Passport on a Plate or The Kids Multicultural Cookbook. Other cookbooks offer a fun approach to learning history: books like Pioneer Farm Cooking teach kids what life was like during different times in American history. Facts about food preparation and family living in that era are presented alongside historical recipes that you can try out. Click here for a listing of a few of our featured children’s cookbooks.
