Everybody Can Cook goes beyond simply providing recipes to use in the classroom. This cookbook was developed to allow instructors in both general and special education classrooms to bring hands-on cooking classes to children of all abilities, ages 2 and up, and to foster a positive relationship between children and food. There are 15 recipes and lesson plans, each complete with: shopping and equipment lists; related books and songs to enhance learning; pictorial recipes; adaptations for various physical and developmental abilities; ingredient substitutions for dietary restrictions and allergies; and visual learning cards. Children strengthen their motor skills, self-esteem, socialization, teamwork, and independence through cooking.
