A lovely book designed to have children learn how to cook healthful meals on their own.
DK Publishing is known for their excellent books. This cookbook is no different. There are fantastic photographs throughout the book. Ingredients, kitchen tools and step-by-step methods are pictured to help children understand how to create each meal. This book is very easy-to-understand and is set up for beginner cooks.
Another thing that I enjoyed about this book was the way that there were a variety of protein sources, whether it be vegetarian, lamb, chicken or red meat. There are health tips within the book to help educate children on the importance of eating a variety of healthful foods. Food safety tips are explained too.
To help test this book out, I had my five-year old son look the book over. He found the pictures easy to understand. Being this book is designed for nine to twelve-year olds, I did need to help him read. But he did like the cookbook, and could follow the recipes.
There are a variety of recipes in here. There are recipes for: omelets, granola, tomato soup, cheese and potato pockets, chocolate cake, apple pie, vegetable tart, falafel, Naan bread, fruit crisp, fruit pops, roasted chicken, fishcakes, lamb kebabs, roasted vegetable lasagna, a stir-fry recipe, a curry recipe and much more!
If you have a child in the house that is interested in cooking, pick this book up!

I'm a special education teacher for a 18-21 year old program. This book is excellent for my readers and non-readers. The pictures are real items, so there is no doubt what they are to use. The directions are clear and easy to follow and the ingredients are easy to find in a grocery store. There are a variety of foods and nothing that is to fancy to make. It is the most used cookbook in my room!!

Children's Cookbook..is such an excellent book. I really love this book because not only are the photos attractive, moreover everything in the book describes things thoroughly and meticulously. The steps are easy to follow. Another thing that is great about this book is when you don't know something, for example a particular tool or ingredient, it provides a picture with it--and not just an ordinary cookbook with just the words. This book is an amazing cookbook that not only children will be amazed by it but adults likewise. I really recommend it to all who loves to cook and loves to eat!

great healthy food that kids will want to make and eat
This was purchased for my 9 year old daughter. She likes to cook but needs some basic items. This book keeps the recipe simple but the food is not just boring basic food either. Read more

I've seen better cookbooks for kids
Bought this book to try cooking with my 6 year old granddaughter. It's OK but not as kid friendly as I had hoped.

Waste of money, ingredients
Buy another cookbook. The recipes in this one obviously weren't tested. My daughters and I, who cook frequently, made the "chocolate" cake (which called for 3 teaspoons of cocoa)... Read more

Good for Sweets
My daughter likes this cookbook and book marked everything she wants to make. Unfortunately only 4 of the 17 items were something other than sweets. Read more

Don't bother wasting your money
This has to be the worst cookbook for children I have ever seen! Even an adult who knows little about cooking will find it useless. Read more

for actual use, it's not very helpful
I'm a mother with four children, and this book was a great disappointment. The recipes were too complicated for elementary students and too "young" for older kids. Read more
