Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Gr 3-8–By the creator of ChopChop: The Fun Cooking Magazine for Families, this book has a simple concept: teach kids to cook wholesome foods and you will not only get help in the kitchen and build positive family memories, but also set up youngsters for a lifetime of healthy eating. With a balance of health food and kid appeal as well as kitchen chemistry, history, and the facts about smart choices, this is more than a collection of recipes. Many (soups, salad dressings, smoothies, sandwiches, vegetables, chocolate chip cookies, and more) merely provide the basic instructions and then invite kids to build their own; the smoothie section includes a simple chart that they can use to select ingredients that sound appealing. Included in the beginning is a note to children, a note for parents, a list of essential ingredients and equipment to have on hand, and even a seasoning experiment. Each recipe lets youngsters know if an adult is needed, the hands-on time, the total time, kitchen gear necessary, and, of course, ingredients. The photographs show fully engaged kids having a really good time making and enjoying beautiful food. A delicious standout title, sure to inspire the next generation of chefs.–Heather Acerro, Rochester Public Library, MNα(c) Copyright 2013.

Review

"Sampson has solved a puzzle everyone talks about—how to make children and families cook—by being truly cross-cultural, practical, explicit, and never patronizing." (Corby Kummer The Atlantic)

“What makes ChopChop so great is not only Sampson’s choice of subject, appealing and respectful design and language, bright colors and surprisingly sophisticated food photography; it’s her (and her editors’) choice of recipes. . . . Sampson [is] doing preventive medicine. Because cooking reduces obesity and reducing obesity reduces disease.” (Mark Bittman The New York Times)

"A delicious standout title, sure to inspire the next generation of chefs." (School Library Journal)

“Plant the seeds of cooking enthusiasm in the young, and give them the gift of a lifetime. ChopChop imparts the joy of kitchen fluency to our next generation with a crisp, inviting design, an inspiring, encouraging voice, and broadly appealing recipes.” (Mollie Katzen author of Moosewood Cookbook and Pretend Soup)

“ChopChop has made my son love math (measuring ingredients); chemistry (that’s cooking!) and good, nutritious food. Most of all, he loves the spirit that ChopChop embodies: Intelligent, healthy fun. It’s wonderful.” (Susan Orlean author of Rin Tin Tin and Throw Me a Bone)

“ChopChop is introducing a generation of children (and their parents) to cooking, establishing a healthy lifestyle from the start. Keep a copy in your kitchen.” (David Ludwig, MD, PhD Director, New Balance Foundation Obesity Prevention Center, Boston Children's Hospital)

“[ChopChop] is ideal. It has lively graphics, a bright (but not saccharine) tone, and modern, realistic recipes.” (Julia Moskin The New York Times)

A great gift idea

March 8, 2015

Verified Purchase

My wife's idea for a Christmas gift for our grandchildren: cooking. She researched different books for children on cooking, eventually settling on this one. And she was quite pleased with it, because it respected children and the things they could accomplish in the kitchen. But she didn't stop with the book. She looked through it and accumulated a large number of standard ingredients, placing them in a laundry-style basket so that the children could pull it out whenever their parents had time to work on one of the recipes. In addition, we got one of these books for ourselves as well. That's how pleased we were with the book.

Wowee! Great purchase!

December 26, 2016

My daughter has all but taken over my kitchen because of this book. She loves to cook, and I am finding that guiding her in the kitchen has been a way for us to bond. Besides developing her love of and skill in cooking, her cooking helps me out around the house because cooking is one less thing on my to-do list. She is also so proud of her meals that she cleans up without complaint! Another item off my to-do list, which leaves more time for me to spend time with her.

This book is great because it fosters culinary creativity. It gives a recipe, for example chicken soup, and it offers a list of variations on it, such as curry chicken soup or lemon soup. Using these ideas, she can learn to improvise her own variations as well. I also love the "assemble your own..." sections. For example, you can choose items from each category of sandwich ingredient (various breads, proteins, vegetables, condiments...) and make your own personalized sandwich from the checklists.

One of the other benefits of getting this book is that she has had a hard time in math at school because it's boring and too abstract. She has been getting practice with fractions, multiplication, addition, and other "boring" things. I hope this means that math will be more interesting because she can see how she can use those skills in her every day life.

My daughter, a young 8 year old checked out every kids' cookbook from the library before I finally purchased a couple on Amazon. This is her favorite. Not only are the photos stunning and the recipes easy and encouraging, but for this health- conscious vegetarian mom they are delicious! I'm thrilled with this book and thank the author for changing our family dinners! My daughter was so excited to be in charge of this week's meals that we sat down together to menu plan, make a shopping list for the week. She's cooked breakfast, lunch and dinner for the last 4 days making us all eat healthier, think about and appreciate our meals and the hands that made them, and helped my daughter develope a deep love for cooking.

Great kids cook book

August 16, 2017

Verified Purchase

We checked this out of the library along with a bunch of other kids cookbooks. The kids were so sad to return it that we went and ordered it before we had to return the library copy so we could place all the sticky notes from the library book into our new one- WE are really happy with this purchase! I was looking for a cookbook with easy recipes that offered a diversity of cultures and food and I have not been disappointed. Both my kiddos have found many recipes that we have had fun making together and enjoyed eating as a family. Love that the recipes all show kids cooking & eating as well as practical beginning cooking tips and info; how to use a can opener, how to cut & cook vegetables, and essential ingredients. Do not hesitate to get cooking with your kids or gift this book!

*Peanut butter cookies, hummus, cucumber tzatziki sauce, banana bread, tomato soup, frittatas, fish tacos were all hits that we have made.

Excellent book for first steps in cooking

May 7, 2014

Verified Purchase

We all like this book. It contains variety of recipes with various skill levels required, so it is easy to find something for every kid preferences.
Preparation steps are explained in details, so even kids or adults with less cooking experience can find their way in making good, healthy meals.
I also like that healthy food is promoted, but it is not an imperative - so you can slowly move to eating of nice and healthy food, without need to eat like vegan or organic food only.

Most recipes and meals suggestions are in accordance with eating habits in USA, so this would be my only negative point. I would prefer that typical recipes from all over the world are included too.

Enjoy cooking as we all do at home!

This is a great cookbook for kids. It has actual recipes the whole family will enjoy not just 'kid' recipes. My 6yr old loves picking out ones to try and is able to read along with the directions.

Bought for 6 year old nephew who was inspired by Master Chef Jr. The recipes are great, clearly written, and we both loved that their were a lot of photographs. We tried the breaded chicken recipe and homemade ranch dressing and had great success.

What a great idea

January 1, 2014

Verified Purchase

This cook book, and the magazine from which it is derived are a fabulous idea. Teach kids to cook and they'll not only learn "survival skills" they will learn how to eat healthy, and as a peripheral they have to read and do math as well as learn about other cultures.
