Kendall's Kitchen

What do you get when you mix a television anchor who writes children's books with chefs who grow their own food and compete on national cooking stages? A unique children's cookbook #CookingWithABook What makes this cookbook so unique? It's an actual book with a storyline. To add a twist, it is packed with recipes; and it has a coloring and activity book included inside. It's the sequel to Katina Rankin's "Up North, Down South: City Folk Meet Country Folk." "It's a one-two-three dash of spice ... which combines literacy, healthy eating and the arts," said television anchor and children's author Katina Rankin. One of the contributing chefs, Chef Nick Wallace, added: "I grew up on a farm, so I use home grown food when I cook. The recipes in the cookbook are full of fresh, healthy ingredients." Kids will literally take over the kitchen with this latest children's cookbook: "Kendall's Kitchen: Healthy Recipes For Kids." Children of all ages can enjoy story time in their room. After finding the right recipe for them, they can join a parent in the kitchen to whip up a great healthy snack. Going to granny's house? Children can read the book in the car on the way to grandma's house and cook with granny after they arrive. Following a delicious meal or a fun snack made from the book's recipes, kids can do fun activities. In addition to activity pages, the book contains teachable facts such as information about the food pyramid, measurements and how to set a table. Shaun Chavis, Cookbook Editor and President of Saltshaker Marketing & Media said: "Katina Rankin's cookbook, Kendall's Kitchen, includes a great short story and recipes which teach nutrition in context - the element of nutritional education that's so often missing from cookbooks. Through the story, healthy eating is a part of cooking with others, family, and heritage and traditions. The recipes are very approachable for children who are learning to cook or want to have fun cooking... making fried rice on a sheet pan, for example, is pretty clever." The book is available on amazon.com. ###
