P's Ratatouille Anyone Can Cook Birthday

My 4 yr old P loves the movie Ratatouille and he loves to cook in the kitchen. So we embraced it and invited his buddies over for a cooking party. Now we were busy as you can imagine- changing the food out for each course and then heating all the pizzas in the oven while tending to the other guests so my picture are LIMITED! A shame because this was such a fun and unique party. The inside of my house was for the Kitchen prep table with a Paris and Ratatouille flair. Our table was set around the menu of what the kids were going to prepare for themselves to eat. Appetizers were candy sushi. Salad was a skewer with cooked tortellini, grape tomatoes, cubed cucumbers, and cheese cubes. Entree was a personal pizza with all different toppings. Dessert was a cupcake they got to decorate. After they prepared their food and washed their hands they got escorted to Gusteau's Restaurant (outside on my covered porch) by our waiters (older brother and friends) and they refilled drinks and served cracker breadsticks until their food was out of the oven ready to be served. This was the party to show that Everyone Can Cook!
