Chef Cappy's Kitchen - STEM Facts and Healthy Recipes for Family Fun Renee Heiss

STEM education meets family fun and good nutrition in Chef Cappy's Kitchen - STEM Facts and Healthy Recipes for Family Fun - Food from 50 States edition. Inside, you'll find one recipe for each state. Each recipe section includes STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) facts, accompanying pictures, nutritional information, ingredients needed, and the occasional special equipment used. Eliminate the argument about who gets to stir and who gets to add an ingredient. Step-by-step directions are organized by the ability of each cook in the family. Each step is coded by a different shape, so everybody gets to participate in some way from the youngest child to the eldest grandparent. And the STEM information provided with each recipe bring real-world tidbits of information to the dinner table with the food. When children prepare the recipes as a family, they are more likely to eat the nutritious food they have prepared. Make cooking fun and educational as you follow the directions. A glossary in the back explains some of the more difficult terms that younger cooks may not understand yet. And pictures of the equipment encourage your children to be independent cooks. Watch your kids put down their electronics to prepare food for the family together!
