A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

Every Special Education Program in the New York City public school system features classes with Activities for Daily Living. Included, and of particular importance, are cookery classes. The Cookbook for Children with Special Needs is therefore an extremely valuable tool for such classes. A consistent tone of encouragement, along with the logical transition of learning about food and safety in the kitchen, and the step by step procedure for each recipe, makes this book a 'must have' for teachers. In addition, the photographs, illustrations and space for comments creates a kid-oriented focus. It is an excellent guide for educators, parents and teachers alike. --Margo Donovan, Staff Developer, New York City Department of Special Education

There is no doubt that a diet rich in processed, convenience foods increases the risk of developing disease and leading a less fulfilling life. But if a child is not brought up to be able to cook and enjoy healthy meals, how are they to avoid such a diet when it is is so easy and cheap to find? This is why Deborah's book is so groundbreaking, on-target and refreshing - it is a complete guide for parents and carers to teach fundamental cooking skills to children while also intuitively showing children what a joy food and meal times should be: This is a message that will stick for life. The book is full of heart and happiness - I am so excited to recommend it to my patients. --Dalia Weinreb Maori R.D., Clinical Specialist Registered Dietitian, Holistic Nutritionist, The Therapy Room, Cambridge

Liora really enjoys her cookery lessons. She has grown proficient and confident in many areas of food preparation and cookery. For me, home practice is the best, as she cooks us all the delicious things that she has learnt in class! --Emma, mother of Liora

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Learning to cook not only equips children with a valuable life skill, but will help boost self-esteem in other areas of their lives. The book starts with a basic illustrated guide to where food comes from, the different food groups, how to create our own diet and why cooking is a great skill to master. Simple, step-by-step instructions accompanied by fun illustrations, guide children through three levels of cooking, starting with fundamental basics including the preparation of a wide variety of different foods, and building up to more complex recipes. Health and safety skills are taught as an essential part of the cooking activity and healthy eating habits are reinforced throughout. Parents and carers will find cooking with children with special needs to be enjoyable and rewarding with this book, which thoroughly prepares the child for the cooking experience. Teachers, activity organisers and anyone else working with children with special needs will also find this book to be a great resource for cooking inspiration.Health and safety skills are taught as an essential part of the cooking activity and healthy eating habits are reinforced throughout.
