I like the recipes in this book, but the recipe writing is poor. I can follow these recipes, but my poor husband-- a less accomplished cook-- has to ask what to do because the recipes don't give enough detail. an example, in the frittata recipe there are no directions for how to prepare the vegetables, all the recipe says is to add them to the eggs. Even though the book is for kid cooks, it is not for the beginning cook.

As a pediatrician working every day to encourage kids and their parents to make healthy food choices, I am thrilled to see the ChopChop Cookbook. I have been a fan and promoter of the magazine for my patients. Now children and their parents have endless fun recipes to explore and in the process learn about cooking and eating healthy. The photographs of the kids are delightful; it's informative for the novice and more experienced cook. And of course the recipes look great. I have one book in the office to show to my patients and the other at home. It will solve our "what to have for dinner tonight" dilemma and what we make will always be healthy and tasty!

Here is a book that anybody who feels slightly inadequate in the kitchen can buy for, cough, a child they "might know" without feeling embarrassed.

This is a book crammed with lots of great advice to help get children cooking, with over 100 different varied recipes. It is also eminently suitable for the adult who wants to know more but is afraid to ask. The author's main aim is to get children cooking great healthy food, ideally involving their family along the way. Everybody wins, well nearly everybody, as fast food joints and manufacturers of ready-made microwave food may see their nose pushed a bit out of joint.

The recipes are split into key sections of breakfast; lunch; soups; salads; dinner; dessert and drinks. Great internal signposting and a full index lets the impatient cook really dig into this book. Before you get cooking, should it be required, there is a good introduction covering the most basic of the basics you need to know but perhaps have never been taught. One particular feature that caught this reviewer's eye was the "seasoning experiment" that seeks to help show the importance of good seasoning and how essential it can be for a cook to taste things as they go on - a small thing that only occupied two pages but a very important thing.

Where possible, this is a book that the cook, whether child or parent, should try and at look through sequentially at least once. Not only do you then get a great overview to all the recipes on offer but you will pick up a lot of the great background information, hints and tips along the way. As you would expect the recipes are very clearly written and well laid out. The recipes even address most of our typical "niggles" with an estimation of preparation and cooking times.

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.

It took me a while to review this cookbook. Why? Because as soon as I picked it up one of my sons grabbed it away from me. One of his sisters did pretty much the same thing as soon as we got it home.

And why not? It's bright, filled with models they can relate to and makes healthy food look delicious.

For parents, there's a lot to like as well. Of the 110-ish recipes, only six are of questionable nutritional value (cookies, brownies and cupcakes). The rest of them- including the other desserts- are filled with fruit, vegetables and/or healthy grains and protein. Additionally, the recipes are easy to follow (both for children and adults) and any recipe that requires adult intervention is clearly marked.

Because people in my family have various food sensitivities and allergies, my favorite recipes are the ones that use the "Mix-and-Match" template that breaks the ingredients of a recipe into categories and then gives suggestions for each. The Smoothie, Breakfast Sandwich, Sandwich and Lunch Bowls. I also appreciate the recipes that provided plenty of ideas for variations, including potatoes, salads and vegetable soups, among many others.

Best reason to pick this up? Even a child who is very squeamish about new foods (like my son) will find at least one new recipe in here that they'd like to try, and that might be worth buying two.

Highly recommended for children of any age.

As an avid home cook, I'm always looking to cookbooks for inspiration. Finally here's a cookbook that both my kids and I can enjoy together! My kids love how it is geared for them without being too cutesy with recipes that talk down to them. I love it because it's jammed pack with easy recipes that are not only delicious, but diverse and healthy. My kids are learning essential cooking skills too - from seasoning, to essential pantry items and kitchen tools. I also love the variations on many of the recipes - a great way for me and my kids to learn about ways to pair food and how to improvise. And as a subscriber to ChopChop Magazine, I am thrilled to find some our our favorite recipes can finally be found in one book! Get this cookbook for you and your family. You won't regret it!
