Book Synopsis

A recipe a day keeps the boredom away in this kids cookbook full of fun activities and 365 sweet and savory treats from the Food Network Kitchen!

Make every day special with an easy and exciting recipe, whether it's the first day of school, a big birthday, or just a lazy Sunday.

Kids will flip through this book to find a great idea for every day of the year, starting today, including:

• 365 sweet and savory recipes and photos--one for every day of the year!
• Holiday cookies and gifts (like doughnut snowmen)
• Easy food crafts (some use ready-made shortcut ingredients!)
• Fake-out snacks (ice cream sandwiches that look like mini burgers)
• Cupcake decorating (flower cupcakes made with snipped marshmallows for petals)
• Cute bites for April Fool's Day, Earth Day--and leapfrog cookies for Leap Year!
• Fun food trivia throughout

It makes an excellent boredom-buster and summer activity book for kids and families or a perfect gift for kids who love to cook!

What's your birthday? Anyone who picks up this book will turn straight to that date to see which treat falls on their special day! Perhaps it's the miniature chicken and waffles, or homemade chocolate lollipops, or even a giant pretzel!

Of course, all the big holidays are represented, too--like flag tarts for the Fourth of July or banana mummies for Halloween. And we never miss an excuse to celebrate historic events: You can make star cookies on the day Pluto was discovered.

An easy cookbook for beginners, all the recipes and food crafts were tested in the Food Network Kitchen, so they're sure to come out perfect every time.
