Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 4-6-- An upbeat, general cookbook written from the point of view of two young people interested in making things that are delicious, nutritous, and fun to make. It includes 153 recipes, which are marked by one, two, or three spoons as to the level of difficulty. Occasionally, a prepared mix is suggested to simplify the process. The tone is breezy and inviting: each recipe is introduced with a note about a family member or friend's association with the dish. The black-and-white cartoon drawings are strictly decorative, but the directions are simple and clear enough for those with little or no experience. Better Homes and Gardens New Junior Cook Book (Better Homes and Gardens, 1979; o.p.) is for the same age group and features dazzling full-color photographs. The great variety of recipes in the Williamsons' book and the comforting presentation make it an appealing selection. --Carolyn Jenks, formerly at Oyster River Elementary School, Durham, NH

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful first cook book!, October 30, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Kids Cook!: Fabulous Food for the Whole Family (Williamson Kids Can! Series) (Paperback)

What a great cookbook! Real food for real kids and their real parents. Not only is the layout easy to follow, the book contains good basic info on measuring, cooking techniques, and equipment. It also has invaluable information (in the margins on every page) on safety, nutrition, and other fun facts. The recipes are rated easy to more difficult so that cooks of all levels can enjoy this book. I may even get one for my cooking-phobic sister-in-law!
