Cooking is an art, so why not let your children become cooking artists and use their imaginations to create edible works of art? This book will help. COOKING ART - EASY EDIBLE ART FOR YOUNG CHILDREN is not a new book (I’ve had my copy for years) but the recipes are timeless, so I wasn’t surprised to find it at Amazon.com
The book was designed to help children and adults work as partners in the kitchen. It includes tips for parents, as well as a few safety rules and “things to know” before you and your children begin creating your food art.
Many of the recipes require no baking or cooking. Children simply assemble various ingredients, following the detailed instructions. Plus, there’s a section with recipes for every month of the year - foods like Flag Toast, a Noodle Wreath, and New Year’s Eve Cracker Snackers. You’ll find dozens of ways to making cooking with your kids a family activity to enjoy together each and every weekend.
Help your kids make dinner tonight. This recipe isn’t from the book, but these Individual Pizzas will be delicious edible works of art.
INDIVIDUAL PIZZAS
1 can refrigerator biscuits
1 lb. ground beef
2 c. tomato sauce
1/4 c. onion, chopped
Chopped garlic
Grated cheese
Assorted pizza toppings
Brown the ground beef, onion, and garlic yourself, then assemble bowls with the grated cheese, tomato sauce, and an assortment of other pizza toppings like pepperoni, black olives, sliced mushrooms, crisp bacon, etc.
On a lightly greased cookie sheet, let your children flatten the biscuits and press up a rim on the edge of each one. Have them fill each biscuit with a mixture of sauce, hamburger, onion, and garlic, then cheese, and any of the other toppings they prefer. Bake the Individual Pizzas at 425 degrees for 10 minutes.
“Grilling, broiling, barbecuing - whatever you want to cal it - is an art, not just a matter of building a pyre and throwing on a piece of meat as a sacrifice to the gods of the stomach.” - James Beard, Beard on Food, 1974
