This is a great cookbook。 It has recipes that taste great and are easy to make。 My favorite is the fudgy chocolate mug cakes。

Best cookbook for kids。As a 4-H informal educator， I am always researching for good educational resources。 This cookbook is a great culinary resource for kids 10-14。 The recipes are super kid friendly and in-depth information to spark youth’s curiosity and knowledge。 I plan to incorporate some of the recipes in my kids cooking and nutrition programs。

This is the perfect introduction to cooking for young chefs。 The banana bread and chocolate chip cookie recipes were very good！ I haven't tried many of the recipes， but this cookbook is very visually appealing and fun to look through， with a variety of meals / dishes to make。 This is the perfect introduction to cooking for young chefs。 The banana bread and chocolate chip cookie recipes were very good！ I haven't tried many of the recipes， but this cookbook is very visually appealing and fun to look through， with a variety of meals / dishes to make。 。。。more

My daughter who is 10， saved up and bought this forherself。 It was one of two Kids cookbooks she bought。 She gives it a solid 5/5 stars， and I gave it 4。5 Stars。 Full review to follow below。。。。My youngest daughter at the age of 10 loves cooking and cooking shows。 She saved up her own money and purchased herself two cookbooks， this one and Kid in the Kitchen: 100 Recipes and Tips for Young Home Cooks by Melissa Clark。 This one arrived second and she was already enthralled with the other。 She has My daughter who is 10， saved up and bought this forherself。 It was one of two Kids cookbooks she bought。 She gives it a solid 5/5 stars， and I gave it 4。5 Stars。 Full review to follow below。。。。My youngest daughter at the age of 10 loves cooking and cooking shows。 She saved up her own money and purchased herself two cookbooks， this one and Kid in the Kitchen: 100 Recipes and Tips for Young Home Cooks by Melissa Clark。 This one arrived second and she was already enthralled with the other。 She has carried them around the house for days， put in sticky note tabs for recipes she wanted to try。 But more on that later。This is another beautiful cookbook。 Full color pages， but not full glossy pages。。 The paper is not as heavy a weight as the other volume。 It has a very solid binding。 It is well designed and made。 It is a great book to flip through and get ideas from。 Or to plan whole meals。 The chapters in the volume are:Getting Started in the KitchenBreakfastSnacks & BeveragesCooking for YouCooking for Family & FriendsSides that Make the MealDessertsConversions & EquivalentsHealthy Eating 101Recipe StatsIndexThe description of the volume is:“For the first time ever， America's Test Kitchen is bringing their scientific know-how， rigorous testing， and hands-on learning to KIDS in the kitchen！Using kid-tested and approved recipes， America's Test Kitchen has created THE cookbook every kid chef needs on their shelf。 Whether you're cooking for yourself， your friends， or your family， The Complete Cookbook for Young Chefs has delicious recipes that will wow！ • Recipes were thoroughly tested by more than 750 kids to get them just right for cooks of all skill levels―including recipes for breakfast， snacks and beverages， dinners， desserts， and more。 • Step-by-step photos of tips and techniques will help young chefs feel like pros in their own kitchen • Testimonials （and even some product reviews！） from kid test cooks who worked alongside America's Test Kitchen will encourage young chefs that they truly are learning the best recipes from the best cooks。By empowering young chefs to make their own choices in the kitchen， America's Test Kitchen is building a new generation of confident cooks， engaged eaters， and curious experimenters。”We have picked several recipes from this volume to test and try。 My wife has done a few recipes from America’s Test Kitchen that have all been big hits。 I have done a few as well， always to great success。 My daughter loves both of her new cookbooks。 She prefers the other volume， Kid in the Kitchen: 100 Recipes and Tips for Young Home Cooks by Melissa Clark。 Because it is glossier and shinier。 I prefer this volume。 The meals are easier。 The ingredients less diverse。 The meals are well defined and explained。 This is an excellent cookbook for children and those cooking with them。 It is one we will be using for years to come。An excellent cookbook for younger aspiring chefs。 A great place to start。 Melissa has contributed to or written over 50 books related to food。 And this one is a good one for working with younger children， or letting older children experiment on their own。 。。。more

The cookbook was written for kids， but still learned quite a lot as an adult and beginner chef， like how to cook green beans etc。 Recipe is quite simple for an adult， so would be a fun project to cook with children。

Checked this out for the kiddos。 As a mom， I appreciate the easy to follow instructions， kitchen tips， and pictures。 Simple without being condescending， this would be a good starting cookbook for anyone without a lot of kitchen experience。 Nice range of recipes。

It's a great book for tweens and those who are really beginners at cooking。 Everything is broken down and all the recipes are superbly explained and illustrated。 I love that there are kids who some are aged 10， writing what they really thought of the recipe。 I wanted to see what was good for a ten year old and what recipes would be perfect and not too hard for that age range。 If all goes well， I might buy the book and gift it to them。 Thankfully， they don't read my Goodreads reviews and won't kn It's a great book for tweens and those who are really beginners at cooking。 Everything is broken down and all the recipes are superbly explained and illustrated。 I love that there are kids who some are aged 10， writing what they really thought of the recipe。 I wanted to see what was good for a ten year old and what recipes would be perfect and not too hard for that age range。 If all goes well， I might buy the book and gift it to them。 Thankfully， they don't read my Goodreads reviews and won't know about this gift。 ;） 。。。more

Get the kids away from their screens and into the kitchen with this cookbook perfect for young home chefs。 Whether they are beginners or more advanced， this book will introduce them to kitchen vocabulary， kitchen tools， kitchen safety， including how to use a knife， as well as all the other tools of the trade。 There's everything they will need to know to make delicious meals and snacks。 And there is nothing so rewarding as cooking a new favorite meal for the family。 I gave this book to one of my Get the kids away from their screens and into the kitchen with this cookbook perfect for young home chefs。 Whether they are beginners or more advanced， this book will introduce them to kitchen vocabulary， kitchen tools， kitchen safety， including how to use a knife， as well as all the other tools of the trade。 There's everything they will need to know to make delicious meals and snacks。 And there is nothing so rewarding as cooking a new favorite meal for the family。 I gave this book to one of my nieces when she came to stay with me for the summer， and as we worked our way through it， we really got to know each other some much better while working in the kitchen。 So much so， that I think my Kiddo got a little jealous。 The solution - I put her and my niece in the kitchen together。 The talking， the laughing， the delicious food was well-worth it。 And the bonus is that cooking can help kids with their math thanks to the measuring they have to do。 I loved it when the light went on my niece's eyes the day the measuring cups and spoons made fractions more understandable （she was only 8 at the time and not a math fan）。 Our favorite recipes: monkey bread， pesto flatbread pizza， beef and bean chili， among others。 Pair The Complete Cookbook for Young Chefs with its companion book The Complete Baking Book for Young Chefs， because what's a great meal without a great dessert？ 。。。more

What a visual feast for the eyes and it is just a cookbook！ But it's a cookbook for young chefs and is chock full of awesome classic recipes for someone just diving in or even old hats to revisit some of the best eats。 I was more impressed however with the placement of photos， explanations， deviations （about cooking still and relevant to the recipe） and the organization altogether。 I found myself just really staring at the pages themselves thinking if I had a cookbook， I'd want it to look just l What a visual feast for the eyes and it is just a cookbook！ But it's a cookbook for young chefs and is chock full of awesome classic recipes for someone just diving in or even old hats to revisit some of the best eats。 I was more impressed however with the placement of photos， explanations， deviations （about cooking still and relevant to the recipe） and the organization altogether。 I found myself just really staring at the pages themselves thinking if I had a cookbook， I'd want it to look just like this。 There is plenty of helpful guidance along the way to train up and coming chefs in building foundational skills。 I will purchase a copy for my own young chefs！ 。。。more

In The Complete Cookbook for Young Chefs， the professional chefs of America's Test Kitchen invited young bakers to work alongside them in the test kitchen to create recipes that kids can not only make， but will also enjoy。From breakfast to desserts， The Complete Cookbook includes plenty of culinary instruction along with the recipes。 For example， the Knives 101 section explains the use of a chef’s knife and a paring knife， including how to hold the knife properly， basic cutting motions， and safe In The Complete Cookbook for Young Chefs， the professional chefs of America's Test Kitchen invited young bakers to work alongside them in the test kitchen to create recipes that kids can not only make， but will also enjoy。From breakfast to desserts， The Complete Cookbook includes plenty of culinary instruction along with the recipes。 For example， the Knives 101 section explains the use of a chef’s knife and a paring knife， including how to hold the knife properly， basic cutting motions， and safety。 Recipes that are earmarked in my family’s edition of this book include Rice and Bean Bowls with Corn and Avocado Crema， and Roasted Fingerling Potatoes。 As with every good cookbook， pictures are included with each recipe， along with step by step instructions。 Practical tips help young chefs get things right the first time。 A great addition is the “Gathering Cooking Equipment” section in each recipe， as it helps young cooks check for everything they need before they start。 The book includes conversion tables， nutritional information for each recipe， and an index， as well as quotes from kid chefs about each recipe。 Upper elementary and middle school students will find plenty of recipes and culinary know-how in The Complete Cookbook for Young Chefs。 。。。more

This is such a great cookbook。 My daughter loves it and I've made a lot of the recipes from it as well。 The recipes are very good and well tested， but unlike a lot of the other America's Test Kitchen recipes， they are simpler and quicker， perfect for a weeknight meal。 This is such a great cookbook。 My daughter loves it and I've made a lot of the recipes from it as well。 The recipes are very good and well tested， but unlike a lot of the other America's Test Kitchen recipes， they are simpler and quicker， perfect for a weeknight meal。 。。。more

I really like this book because the recipes have common ingredients， and the food tastes good。 The beginning of the book has "7 Essential Prep Steps"on page 12-15。 Most of us know these steps， but it was a good refresher before we try to show a young chef how to separate eggs or soften butter in the microwave。 I made the Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies on page 184， and sent the recipe with ingredients to my grandchildren in Minnesota。 The bake time is 15-20 minutes， and I would recommend baking 15 I really like this book because the recipes have common ingredients， and the food tastes good。 The beginning of the book has "7 Essential Prep Steps"on page 12-15。 Most of us know these steps， but it was a good refresher before we try to show a young chef how to separate eggs or soften butter in the microwave。 I made the Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies on page 184， and sent the recipe with ingredients to my grandchildren in Minnesota。 The bake time is 15-20 minutes， and I would recommend baking 15 minutes。 The Blondie Bites on Page 190 were even better than the cookies。 I didn't have white chocolate chips so I chopped up a bar of white chocolate。 These were a big hit！ Again， I would recommend less time in the oven （14 rather than 16 minutes）， and a lower temperature if you are using a dark pan。 。。。more
