They can sail the open seas with Banana Boats, have a haunting good time making the Monster Face Salad, explore prehistoric times with Dinosaur Claws, practice their engineering skills by making the Tomato Tower and yell "yee-haw" as they make Cowpoke Cakes. Parents will enjoy this cookbook as much as their children!

Hot and Sticky BBQ (Alpha Books, 2003) by Ted Reader
Ted Reader takes barbecue to another dimension! Forget the plain, old barbecue chicken you knew growing up. Reader shares his creative recipes for Southwest Pork Chops With Charred Corn and Poblano Crust; Cherry Whiskey Smoked Baby Back Ribs; BBQ-Baked Cast-Iron Pan Meatloaf; Cedar-Planked Haddock Stuffed With Crab, Shrimp and Cheddar Cheese; Grilled Onion and Asparagus Risotto; Cast-Iron Breakfast Strata; and Grilled Leek and Shrimp Salad. And that's just the tip of the iceberg! And don't worry, there are plenty of barbecue chicken recipes, though Reader's are a little more exotic. How does Hot Buttered Love Chicken Thighs With Honey Butter sound? What about Maple Garlic Chicken Drumsticks? Reader wraps up the book with wonderful desserts to round out the meal.
