Customer Reviews

This book gave my daughter confidence in the kitchen

My daughter found this book at the library of her school. She brought it home and tried several recipes that the whole family ate...and liked! She checked it out so many times that we decided to buy our own copy. It uses common ingredients and clear instructions with pictures that insure success. This is a great first cookbook for children.

Above All Others

My six year old son couldn't wait to get started making gingerbread from this book. He assembled all equipment needed from the photos provided for each recipe. I've looked at other children's cookbooks and this is above the others in being extremely well thought out in every detail. We haven't tried any other recipes yet but can't wait to!!!

Fantastic for kids and non-native English speakers

I originally bought this book for a Vietnamese friend whose English is not very good. She wanted to teach her 11-year old daughter how to cook "American" food, but wasn't familiar with it. This book is perfect for both of them. For example, the ingredients are shown with a picture of the food item as well as quantity. So if the recipe calls for zucchini, there is a picture of zucchini - this allows my friend to do the grocery shopping (she knows zucchini in Vietnamese but not in English). It also includes an illustrated glossary at the back to help with terms such as "simmer." I was so impressed with this book that I ordered one for myself, as well as Angela Wilkes' Children's Quick And Easy Cookbook for when my grandkids are old enough to use it! (Okay, the truth - I want to make some of the recipes now!)

great book for the aspiring chef

I bought this book for my 9 year old grandson and now he plans to be a chef in his own restaurant. He loves the recipes and we love to share the meals he prepares. The photos are very good and allows children to whet their appetites. The directions are clear and easy to follow. I plan to buy this for other friends who are grandparents so they, too, can give it to their grandchildren.

The Childrens step by step Cook Book.

I got this book about two years ago and gave it to my two grandaughters who live beside us. They found the book to have wonderful illustrations of the amounts measured and of the ingredients very easy to use. The receipes turned out to be very good and consistent. The two girls have grown in confidence and have they cooked crepes for me for a party of ten people. I was very proud of them but better still they were proud of themselves. They have gone on to cook there own birthday cakes and make sunday breakfasts. I have just bought another of the same book for another grandaughter and still have two families to buy the same book for the girls. It is a FANTASTIC BOOK. All four sets of my grandchildren will eventually have there own and pass it on to there children. Angela Thompson.
