Very disappointed as bought this for my 11yr old's birthday. Had to convert all the measurements (in cups) and oven temperature (only in Fahrenheit), and the brownie recipe is the worst ever. Don't recommend.

I got this book for my kids but learned a bit myself! This book not only contains easy recipes for kids but techniques and information used by REAL cooks. It even includes recommendations for tools like proper knives and cutting techniques. Really glad we made this purchase.

Very disappointed. Great reviews were deceiving. Much too involved if your child is not a "chef". I love America's Test Kitchen but their tests must have been on children who spend all their time in the kitchen. The grandchildren I purchased books for love to be in the kitchen but most of these recipes are not foods they normally eat.

I’ve bought pretty much every children’s cookbook I can find and this one is hands down the best. I dont just buy these and they sit on the shelves. We use them! My children cook dinner every single week. I’m a chef and I hold a cooking class with them once a week, every week. I want them to read recipes and execute the steps. It’s beyond important to me that my children easily work their way around a kitchen. This cookbook is hands down the best one. The recipes taste good and make sense. It’s recipes that push the envelope in the right areas but produce really tasty meals, that have obviously been tested, and also the kids will eat. I do have a complaint though- not enough main meal recipes! That’s my one and only complaint! Make another cookbook already! All the other ones out there totally suck. We’ve made the oven fried chicken, the buttermilk drop biscuits with honey butter, Mexican street corn (ah-MAZING!), shredded chicken tacos, beef and bean chili and corny cornbread. Next weeks menu is the apple cider glazed pork chops with garlicky skillet green beans and smashed potatoes so they will be doing three of your recipes in one night! Can’t wait! All have been really tasty and I’ve come to trust the recipes knowing it will come out right. We made a recipe from a different cookbook last week and it was a disaster. Learned my lesson! We need more recipes!

Good quality book with recipes simplified where possible. For example instead of whisking melted butter into milk they guide through combining and heating in microwave. The recipes are marked as easy, medium or advanced and a mix of tastes for simple and more advanced palettes. Kids vary greatly but having raised my family and now cooking with grandchildren I would advise find something else for kids under 12 unless they show a real interest in cooking or more adventurous eating.
