catch my eye, I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw a Disney Princess themed cookbook on display at the library!\u00a0 The book that drew me like a moth to a flame is called <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">The Disney Princess Cookbook.<\/span>\u00a0 The recipes are by Cynthia Littlefield and the photographs are by Joanne Schmaltz. \u00a0The book was published by Disney Press in 2013.<\/p>\n<p>With an initial flip through the pages, I knew I was holding a winner!\u00a0 What drew me right away to this particular cookbook is the fact that they use photos, rather than illustrations, for the recipes. \u00a0The book is bright, colorful, and engaging!\u00a0 It includes fifty recipes.<\/p>\n<p>My daughter is fifteen years old and experienced in the kitchen, so I looked at the book with a critical eye of it perhaps being too \u201cyoung\u201d for her to enjoy.\u00a0 It wasn\u2019t.\u00a0 This cookbook has a variety of recipes, and should appeal to all ages.\u00a0 The difficulty of each recipe is rated with a \u201c5 crown\u201d system, with a 1 crown recipe being a very easy recipe and a 5 crown recipe being a bit more complicated for an accomplished cook or for a younger chef to need help from an adult.<\/p>\n<p>For beginning cooks, there is a handy section in front of the book with safety rules and cooking tips.\u00a0 The book does a nice job of making sure the chef has all ingredients on hand, explaining how to measure a variety of ingredients appropriately, reviewing safety tips regarding everything from knives to electrical appliances, and giving hints on preparing fruits and vegetables.\u00a0 There is even a page that talks about the importance of cleaning up the kitchen when finished cooking!\u00a0 These pages are nicely illustrated with Disney Princesses.<\/p>\n<p>The chapters of the cookbook include breakfast, lunch, and dinner.\u00a0 There are also chapters which include recipes for side dishes, snacks, sweets, and beverages.\u00a0 The last chapter of the book is called \u201cMagical Menus.\u201d\u00a0 This chapter makes menus from various recipes from different sections of the book you can combine together for \u00a0a nicely themed meal!\u00a0 The menus are themed to Disney Princesses, and your chef can easily pull together a fun event such as \u201cAriel\u2019s Seaside Picnic\u201d to enjoy!<\/p>\n<p>Each recipe in the book has the ingredient list clearly marked at the side of the page.\u00a0 The photographs of the recipes are nicely done.\u00a0 In addition to the photographs, each page has Disney illustrations of Princesses and Disney characters that match the theme of the recipe.\u00a0 Cooking tips are added to each recipe, too.\u00a0 Recipes are cleverly named to tie in with a Disney character or movie.\u00a0 One of my favorite recipe names is \u201cMushu\u2019s Moo Shu!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The first recipe we made from the cookbook was the Princess Pink Popcorn. \u00a0The directions were easy to follow, and the popcorn was fun to eat!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a
