Starfruit stars in kids' cookbook

Cookbooks for kids have come along way from last century's Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook for Children.

In the kids' cookbook, Friday Night Bites: Kick Off the Weekend with Recipes and Crafts for the Whole Family by Karen Berman (Running Press, 2009), you cook dinner and do a craft activity at the same time.

One dinner theme is Dinner on the Moon, in which participants create a centerpiece that shows the phases of the moon, and include "distant star salad" (made with starfruit). Recipes come with a short astronomy lesson.
