Whether you want to cook with your kids, give them some early experience in the kitchen or find some easy recipes that will appeal to them, there is no shortage of web sites with recipes for kids.

Some sites are published by companies who want to promote their products in recipes, while others promote TV shows or magazines. Still others are simply labors of love by authors who love to cook.

After reviewing lots of sites, we found that very few are emphasizing nutrition these days-a definite gap. We ranked the best sites under "Best Bets." These are the sites that feature good recipes, detailed instructions and colorful graphics.
