Customer Reviews

Want to Get The Kiddies in the Kitchen?
Are you looking for a way to get your kids into the kitchen, turing out tasty projects? I know I was--and I went through about fifteen "kids" cookbooks at the local bookstore before I stumbled on this little gem. It was the only cookbook (other than The Everything Kid's Cookbooks) that would actually get a child into the kitchen. The projects are appealing on all levels--they are easy to assemble, they are too cute for words, and they have super easy to follow pictoral instructions.

It also has a good balance of entrees to deserts, unlike some of the family cookbooks I've reviewed. And with the desserts--like cookies--it takes one basic recipe and shows you about four different ways to use it--marvelous! It's also pantry friendly--no star fruit or rare ingredients you don't have laying around.

Now if you're looking for a kids cookbook to vary your family's fare, then keep in mind this is a slender picture-book sized volume--you won't find more than 22 projects in the whole book. For a good standard family cookbook, I recommmend Beyond Mac 'n' Cheese by MOPS.

But if you are looking to get your kids (12 and under) into the kitchen to spend some time together having fun at the counter, then don't hesitate to buy this little gem! It is my number one recommendation for children's cookbook, project-wise.

For the above twelve set, I recommend the Everything Kid's Cookbook because it is a little more geared towards meals and has crossword puzzles and fun foods that are meant to be played with. If you are looking for a cookbook with tons of recipes that will appeal to your family, be pantry friendly *and* save you money, check out "Cheap. Fast. Good."

Simple Kid's Recipes...
I enjoy picking up new cookbooks and recipes to try with my kids. I picked up this cookbook at my local library to peruse before purchasing it. It has a nice hardcover format, with pictures of the dishes for each recipe...a huge plus for any cookbook! The format was definitely kid-friendly; with simple instructions, and great illustrations. I also found the recipes to be fun to make, and they appealed to my boys. I will say, however, that the book contained only 21 recipes and many were very simplistic (including scrambled eggs and spaghetti). This book would be a great starter cookbook for your budding chef, if you do not have too many other "kid" style cookbooks.

My boys enjoyed both the Sweet-and-sour chicken and the Jam Sweethearts recipes. Enjoy!

Our favorite kids cookbook
Some people might not realize that this is a book for children not for adults! I got this for my 6 year old son who loves cooking and wants as little help from me as possible. This book is great because it has photos for step-by-step instructions even a child can understand and with a little help from a big person, they can do all the steps. I also love this cookbook because we LOVE all the food we have made from it and it has encouraged my very picky eater to try new things and love them. The cookie dough is amazing and now our family favorite. The Potato Mice are a weekly staple as well as the spaghetti sauce. Just the right book to get a child interested in cooking. Next time, more vegetarian recipes please!
