Where do I look for simple recipes wtih step by step pictures?

Question

My students have developmental disabilities and sometimes lose focus and get distracted. So I am looking for very quick and very simple recipes with pictures to keep the children on task.

Answer 1

The Mailbox Magazine usually has good ones.  Your public library may have some.

Answer 2

go to yahoo and  go to  step by step pictures

Answer 3

I have used photos & line drawings to help my disabled clients make thier own.  You can get them to help & the recipe book becomes their own.  Within reason let them chose what they would like to cook.

First you will need photos of the ingredients & photos or line drawings of the utensils.  The ingredient photos can be used to make shopping lists as well

Then you put together the recipe.  Have a photo of the finished product with the name printed as the title.

Start with - "You will need:"

List the ingredients by using a photo of each item per line. For the amount, eg 3 cups, use 3 small photos or line drawings of a cup - half the picture for 1/2 cup.

List the utensils in the same way,  eg photos of bowl, spoons, egg beater etc.

Then you give the instructions step by step mostly using a single word, eg mix & then the photos of the first ingredients, eg milk & eggs.   Next you would use Add & mix..... for the rest of the ingredients.

Finally use photos to show the final steps eg, rolling & cutting, putting in the oven or fridge,  using a line drawing so show the heat setting on the stove & a line drawing of clocks to show how long.

Our clients loved helping make their recipe books which we mounted on card & laminated for them.   As well they loved to get out the photos needed for their shopping lists.

Any activity takes on more meaning if they have 'ownership' of it.

or:

Purchase: Kids Cooking: A Very Slightly Messy Manual (by Klutz)

I have used some things from this sight in my prechool class. Most of the time, however, I take a recipe and make my own picture recipe for the kids. For some reason, they are a little hard to find.

Answer 6

the Mailbox magazine has step by step pictures of recipes in every issue.  Their Yearbook is a good buy if you don't want to invest in the magazine.
