Cuisine Ala Kids Blog: The Beginning

Cuisine Ala Kids is a childrens cookbook that teaches kids the fundamentals of cooking & baking while supervised by an adult helper. My name is Janet Christon & I wrote Cuisine Ala Kids. It started as a labor of love but has turned into so much more. I am extremely proud of the attention it has generated and the wonderful reviews it's received. Although Cuisine Ala Kids has encouraged children & their adult helpers to use teamwork in the kitchen, it is time to take things to the next level! We all know how brutally honest children are. They are also quite finicky when it comes to mealtime. Not so when we take them out to eat. There is something about dining in a restaurant that appeals to our children. When presented with choices, they respond. So finding a kid-friendly restaurant with a kid-friendly menu is a must! Parents, of course , want healthy while kids want tasty! Though McDonald's, Burger King & Wendy's are your basic favorites, there has to be more. And so it begins! The search is on! I plan on researching the tri-state area ( I live in Stamford, Ct.) for restaurants to take my four grandchildren to & let them critique the food. After all, are there better critics than kids? Yes, my Athena, Zena, Vasiliki & Niko ( geez, can you tell we're greek?) have their work cut out for them. How hard can this be? (famous last words). We'll keep you posted!! By the way, Chuckie Cheese in Long Island & Connecticut makes a great pizza. All my little ones love it & they get tokens for the games with the deal. Just thought that was worth mentioning for all of you in these areas. Wish us luck!!!
