Amazon.com: The irrepressible little red star of Sesame Street sizzles in Elmo's Magic Cookbook, but he's not the only celebrity to wave a wooden spoon here. It all begins when the tummy-rumble-inducing book the tape takes its title from is dusted off from its attic-dwelling days. First, it "alakazams" Jean, the ingredient-providing Julia Child of genies, onto Sesame Street for a primer on churning out a champion batch of ice cream (and one that, in one of a number of characteristically superb running gags, nearly causes Telly to collapse from arm fatigue), and then bam!--everybody's favorite Crescent City culinary whiz comes by to create the perfect pizza with the gang. Chef Emeril Legasse does one better than sprinkle the parmesan and pile on the pepperoni with expected panache--he also peels away the mystery of where cheese comes from. When Legasse leaves on a minestrone emergency, another apron-ready star steps in. This time it's singer Heather Headly, here known as Pocket Queen. Elmo, no dummy, is at first resistant to the queen's suggestion that together they cook up some pockets. When she takes him on a video tour of pocket-eating cultures, however (think China's dim sum), he warms to the idea, and what results is a scrumptious-looking summer roll. Each of the video's cooking segments is intercut with food-related bits from the show--Grover's hilarious gig as a hopeless waiter is one. In addition to a handful of recipes ripe for kid collaboration, this tape serves up customary Sesame-style excellence. No future foodie's video shelf should be without it. --Tammy La Gorce
Elmo's Magic Cookbook Elmo's Magic Cookbook is great! It taught my 20 month old daughter to the importance of washing her hands before she eats. It is filled with entertaining music and kitchen tips for kids. (Don't touch the knives, etc.) My daughter loves playing in her toy kitchen so she really enjoyed this DVD.
Fun Learning My 3 year old son watches this video over and over again! He loves to watch me cook in the kitchen so he really enjoys watching Elmo. It's filled with lots of laughs and learning experiences that Elmo's World always offers!
Elmo's Magic Cookbook I got this after seeing Elmo on "Emeril Live" one night, and Emeril is in Elmo's DVD. Elmo is so cute, and through his eagerness to learn he encourages children to learn. He's a good example for children. Elmo actually does some of the cooking in this one. The guy behind Elmo is brilliant. He knows what's good for children to see and hear, and he certainly has the right voice for this character. I would recommend anything with Elmo in it.
My Son was not at all interested... But this is just a personal opinion. My son didn't find it exciting and it just didn't keep him interested. We just have to keep looking for something else that is as exciting and captivating as Grouchland. Now that was 5 Stars! Even me and my husband like that movie.
Kyle's favorite My 6 year old is non-verbal and a movie fanatic. He had Elmo's Cookbook years ago and wore it out - this year that was all he wanted from Santa - 1 hour after opening it he accidentally cracked the dvd - and was heartbroken. Thus the reason for re-ordering - this is a wonderful movie!!!!!!!!
