Description
Eight kinds of latkesnine, if you count the main-course chicken latkes at the open houseand eight kinds of parties make this a fabulous cookbook for young chefs. It is not only about latkes and not only about food. There is a page of party etiquette for guests and hosts as well as a page about the history of Hanukkah. There is even an index. The menus for the parties are carefully thought out, with appetizers, main courses, side dishes, drinks, and desserts. They are all calculated to be simple enough to need very little help from adults or older kids, and tempting enough to appeal to all ages. One of the more engaging aspects of this book is the way it could appeal to kids who do not like to cook, or who have never thought about cooking, or who are too frightened by either sharp utensils or heat. There are pages of crafty ideasinvitations, place-cards, games (beyond dreidels)that make this a book that families can really enjoy together. And not only families. Think of a troop of brownie scouts or cub scouts working on a project. I do not feel that the audience for this book is limited to Jewish children and their families, either. There is so much emphasis these days on tolerance, so much thought of a "global family," that the activities here can really add to a child's level of sophistication. Highly recommended.
