REVIEW:
Cooking teachers will love this site and so will students. The number and variety of recipes is impressive. Cooking teachers might want to let students search the site and print out recipes that will create a balanced menu, or they might give students a set of ingredients and let them see who can find the most recipes that use them. The site also features a handy bimonthly newsletter that can save cooks some time when looking for seasonal recipe ideas. Classroom teachers will enjoy the many holiday cakes and cookies that can make a great addition to any classroom celebration! A truly yummy site!
