My grandmother had a Betty Crocker Cook Book for Boys and Girls. I perused its dog-eared pages obsessively. The Igloo Cake, the Penuche Icing, the Pigs in Blankets all made such sense to me.
This completely retro cookbook will make complete sense to your child, too. It's lighthearted and friendly, but with specific instructions for perfect presentation (although I personally have my doubts about the "Three Men on a Boat" atop of cheerios; sinkage seems most likely). It definitely hawks tons of Betty Crocker products within its pages, but since most of them are obsolete, there will be no fights at the market. It also encourages cooking for the parents. Imagine that: real breakfast in bed (hopefully, not the aforementioned "Three Men in a Boat).
One warning: to their credit, the publishers left the old text untouched. This is not particularly politically correct eating. But surely you can get beyond this; your kids certainly can. Order hours of kitchen fun at www.barnesandnoble.com.
