My six year old loves to cook, and loves to cook "real" food. It is hard to find a kids cook book that isn't all snacks and sandwiches. He loved this cookbook. The step by step pictures make it very easy to understand and the food is something the whole family will love to eat!

This book gets kids into real food and teaches them how to use them appropriately and make food attractive and tasty. No silly recipes with ingredients like "one package of pudding mix" etc. Beautifully done with full color photos to clarify all steps and references completely. Despite the fact that the author lives in England, it is published here in the USA. She has included a couple of recipes that definitely seem more British like "Fruit Bread Pudding" but otherwise the recipe selection is very universal.

I love this cookbook! I checked it out from the library and read it cover to cover trying some of the recipies. The recipies are healthy and the book teaches the how and why of healthy food. I am an experienced cook, and have been trying for the last few years to make healthier food for my family. A task easier said than done! This book has given me many good ideas and I have used it for my menu planning.

I bought this book for my 3 yr old son, who loves to cook, for Christmas. Although I must help him with some steps, it is age appropriate for all levels of children. He is able to help me do something in each recipe. However, the thing I'm most excited about is that this is truly a healthy cookbook with recipes kids love. Our family has been trying to eat high-fiber 'clean' meals whenever possible and this cookbook totally supports that! Nowadays so many books consider typical cheese pizza to be healthy because they claim kids get their vegetables in the tomato sauce, nevermind the refined flour & incredible amount of fat in the cheese -- it's so hard to find a book that is truly healthy without phony 'healthy' ingredients/recipes. I love this book! She uses whole wheat flour, plain yogurt, honey, oats, nuts, etc -- all the ingredients used in clean eating. As a bonus, it includes healthy tips for kids who are older & can read. My only complaint would be that it does not include nutrition info for each recipe. Other than that, awesome book!

I gave this book to my granddaughter as a gift. It is the best kid's cookbook I've ever seen. Unlike the recent Paula Deen book that encourages kids to cook high-calorie unhealthy foods, this book teaches children how to use healthy ingredients to make delicious food. It is filled with beautiful photos that kids love, nutritious foods that are good for growing bodies, and easy to make recipes that promote the joy of cooking. Combined with the field guide to food, "Feeding the Kids" Feeding the Kids: The Flexible, No-Battles, Healthy Eating System for the Whole Family (Fork and Spoon Field Guides) (Fork and Spoon Field Guides) the whole family can get on the road to LOVING to eat delicious foods that are pretty, bright, tasty and fun.

This cookbook has lots of pictures and very descriptive. The first few pages discuss the basics of nutrition. One the of the more healthier choices when it comes to cookbooks. Some of the recipes call for ingredients and cookware that not everyday people have or purchase.

Love this book!! My 9 year old took out this book at her school library on her own. She decided she wanted to help out with cooking and making good food choices. After looking through the book I understood why she got inspired, So did I!! We decided just having the book for a couple of weeks was not good enough & we bought it for our home!!! This is a FANTASTIC Easy step by step picture book for our 3 girls!! Highly recommend this book!!!

I love this book. Packed with healthy kid (and adult) friendly recipes.
Good way to introduce cooking experiences to children. Teaching children to make healthy choices is a good way to prevent obsesity. This certianly has become a favorite of mine. Worth every penny.

My nieces and nephews love to make items from this book. Very easy to follow and food actually tastes good.

I sent this to my nieces and nephews as a Christmas gift and they were excited to receive it. So far I have heard that they have made many things and they all came out great.
