Great Pictures with Great Recipes

This book is highly recommended for young children who need pictures to understand what they are making. Lots of fun recipes and colorful pictures for each product.

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!

Great cookbook for young children

I got this cookbook for my 6-year-old daughter and she loves it. It has lots of pictures and step-by-step instructions for each recipe. As some reviewers pointed out, there isn't a huge selection of recipes, but that's okay if your purpose is primarily to get your child involved in cooking while you have fun together. It's a great cookbook for a young child just starting out in the kitchen. And the food is yummy! We made the cookies for a school snack and the teacher asked for the recipe.

Great Book!

Love this book. We've already made nearly everthing in it. The pictures are great. The directions are very simple. This book makes cooking with your child a lot of fun!

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."
