Description
This book helps you prepare your own meals with success! Learn how to cook simple and complete meals—healthy meals—with recipes using all the MyPlate food groups. Gain confidence in the kitchen and build self-worth. Designed by and for adults with intellectual disabilities, Let's Cook! promotes and reinforces life skills for independent living.
Let's Cook! can help you: create healthy meals that cover your daily nutritional needs; control carbs, calories, and salt; follow food and kitchen safety; and most of all, eat well—today and every day!
Inside you'll find more than 50 healthy "I can cook!" recipes—in large print and written at an early elementary reading level as well as in an easy-to-follow style of "What I Need - What I Use - What I Do." Colour photos accompany step-by-step preparations and nutrient information for each recipe that take the guesswork out of cooking.
