Minki's Stuff came up with this amazing idea to create a cookbook for children with the theme of dinosaurs. The book has a great collection of recipes. There are recipes for appetizers, main courses, desserts, and drinks. Each recipe has the name of a dinosaur. The recipes are accompanied by information about the dinosaurs that are mentioned in the recipes' names. If that got your interest, hurry up and get your copy of Jurassic Junior Chef: A Dinosaur Cookbook for Dino-Loving Kiddos by Minki's Stuff.
I adore everything about this book. Starting from the brilliant idea to the beautiful and colorful design. The recipes are clear and have all the required ingredients and steps. I liked how the recipes focused on including fruits and vegetables and healthy ingredients to encourage kids to eat them. I also like how the book starts with the necessary precautions for the children before starting to cook. The variety of the recipes makes them applicable. I just think the portions of ingredients were more than necessary, especially for children to handle. I suggest using smaller amounts.
There was nothing to hate about this book. I appreciate the idea and the joy that comes out of it. I believe it can turn into a series with different themes. I thought attaching photos of each dinosaur and each meal would have been a good addition. The book received professional editing. I could only notice a couple of errors. Therefore, I rate this book five out of five stars. The book is directed at children aged 8 to 12. The writer encouraged them to start cooking on their own. I find that nice, but I also believe this can be a wonderful bonding activity between parents and their children. That can even include a younger age segment. I guarantee a pleasant experience either way.
