Summary
From the time her children were toddlers， family cooking blogger Carrian Cheney found creative ways to get her children interested in cooking， partly to teach them basic kitchen skills so they could be part of the solution when they were hungry and partly to instill in them a joy of creating and presenting delicious meals， as her own mother had taught her。
From food prep to clean-up， this unique cookbook guides the way through every step， including meal lists and easy-to-follow recipes， and features dollops of heartwarming family stories， insights， and kid-friendly food activities to keep young chefs focused on fun in the kitchen。
The book includes 75 recipes that begin with basics such as fried eggs， pizza dough， and baked potatoes。 As new cooking skills are learned， the recipes progress to guaranteed kid favorites like chocolate chip pancakes， steak fajitas， and apple dumplings。 Recipes are joined with tips to help home chefs master the art of cooking， from stocking a pantry to proper kitchen etiquette and safety to how to add flair to a table setting—even how to coax a picky eater by tempting their tastebuds。
Raised in the Kitchen is a cookbook for parents and kids about much more than learning to love to cook。 It’s about bringing families together with cooking memories that will last a lifetime。

Do you have food bloggers that you follow on Instagram or somewhere else？ Oh Sweet Basil is one of my very favorite food accounts to follow。 I love how real they are on this。 They talk about the good， the bad， and of course， the food。 And Carrian Cheney is the absolute sweetest。 I love her！This cookbook is one of the very few that I would actually buy for myself。 I love the way they put it together。 It’s a book you can have out when you’re in the kitchen with your kids。 And not only will they le Do you have food bloggers that you follow on Instagram or somewhere else？ Oh Sweet Basil is one of my very favorite food accounts to follow。 I love how real they are on this。 They talk about the good， the bad， and of course， the food。 And Carrian Cheney is the absolute sweetest。 I love her！This cookbook is one of the very few that I would actually buy for myself。 I love the way they put it together。 It’s a book you can have out when you’re in the kitchen with your kids。 And not only will they learn something from it， you will too。And I love that there are personal family experiences in this book too。 This would be a great book to grab for mom for Mother’s Day in a couple of weeks！ And you can also check out Our Sweet Basil Kitchen。 It’s one of my favorite cookbooks。I was sent an e-copy of Raised in the Kitchen as a gift from the publisher。 All opinions are my own。 。。。more

I loved this cookbook so much！！ Why？ First of all， every single recipe I tried tasted amazing！！ Secondly， the instructions were simple to follow and there were additional informational blocks that taught me about ingredients or techniques with which I may be unfamiliar。 I also loved the tips from Carrian and Cade’s kids。 Although the publisher gave me an ARC to review， I went and preordered my own copy—That’s how much I loved this cookbook！！

This cookbook is beautiful and delightful and chock full of approachable， family-friendly recipes。 I’ve been a big fan of Carrian and Cade ever since I heard them speak at a Time Out for Women event several years ago。 I refer to their website often and love their first cookbook。 However， I think I’ll love this one even more。 Here’s why:1。 The recipes are simple， with fantastic directions and tips， but not so simple you feel as though you are eating “kid food。” It’s a good balance。2。 Each recipe This cookbook is beautiful and delightful and chock full of approachable， family-friendly recipes。 I’ve been a big fan of Carrian and Cade ever since I heard them speak at a Time Out for Women event several years ago。 I refer to their website often and love their first cookbook。 However， I think I’ll love this one even more。 Here’s why:1。 The recipes are simple， with fantastic directions and tips， but not so simple you feel as though you are eating “kid food。” It’s a good balance。2。 Each recipe includes a difficulty level， so if you feel like you’re just learning to cook， you know which recipes to start with。3。 There is a photo for every single recipe and the photos are gorgeous。4。 This book has so many recipes that are great for starting your children on a cooking journey。 The difficulty level and various tips help a lot as you start getting your kids involved in the making of the food they help eat。5。 There are a handful of great sections that are just tips: meats， pizza， cakes， using a knife。 They are incredibly helpful！6。 This is more than just a cookbook。 It has beautifully written， short anecdotes that warm the soul。 Little things about food memories， the importance of spending time together， and patiently allowing your children to make mistakes。 5 out of 5 I would recommend this cookbook for just about anyone。 I look forward to having it in my collection and creating memories with my children surrounding some delicious food。Quotes from the book I loved:I wonder how much more we could do as parents if we gently steadied instead of always being so quick to react。 A child who is rocking the house might need a gentle embrace or words of encouragement， not a raised voice shouting， “What are you doing？！”I used to stand next to my mom in the kitchen and peel potatoes on Sunday morning。 It was such a simple routine that I’m not sure why it always stands out to me so much。 Maybe that’s how it is with life and memories: it’s not the big stuff that comes back to you， it’s just the moments when you’re side by side。 Trust me on this， side-by-side cooking with your loved ones will change your family。 You will find no greater joy than allowing hearts to connect， and it’s not by chance that food becomes the central force in bringing people together。 Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 。。。more

“When you’re no longer there with your kids， don’t you want a way to still be there？” Carrian Cheney states that cooking with your kids is a way to still be there， even when you no longer are， because they will repeat the process and make the same foods with their own kids。 She says it’s not about food， it’s about connecting with your kids。 （Intro）This is more than just a cookbook of tantalizing recipes with beautiful pictures。 Surprisingly， it is also a book to read。 Articles are interspersed t “When you’re no longer there with your kids， don’t you want a way to still be there？” Carrian Cheney states that cooking with your kids is a way to still be there， even when you no longer are， because they will repeat the process and make the same foods with their own kids。 She says it’s not about food， it’s about connecting with your kids。 （Intro）This is more than just a cookbook of tantalizing recipes with beautiful pictures。 Surprisingly， it is also a book to read。 Articles are interspersed throughout the book on a variety of topics and connected to the recipes nearby。 I did not expect to find heart-warming parenting tips in a cookbook such as， “I wonder how much more we could do as parents if we gently steadied instead of always being so quick to react。” （p。 63） She encourages everyone to make the most of every moment together， “At some point in your childhood， you and your friends went outside to play together for the last time， and none of you knew it。” （p。 181） And to be present with family， “When at work， be at work; when at home， be home。” （p。 187）There are also a lot of helpful tips throughout with full pages devoted to topics like baking bread， potatoes， recipe substitutions， chicken， salt， meat， knife skills， and cake。 I learned some things from her tips on baking bread and using yeast。 I also learned that yogurt， mayonnaise， applesauce， or mashed bananas could be a substitute for sour cream， depending on the recipe。The author refers readers to her website: ohsweetbasil。com for tips on pantry lists， kitchen tool recommendations， cleaning schedules， and more recipes。Included in this book are many classic recipes: French toast， banana bread， dinner rolls， homemade salsa， broccoli salad， baked beans， macaroni salad， potato salad， fettucine alfredo， chicken noodle soup， chicken parmesan， pot roast， steak fajitas， peach crisp， apple dumplings， Oreo pie， chocolate chip cookies， and sugar cookies。There are also several more unique recipes: Coconut Buttermilk Syrup， cheese bread doodles， pan fried tortellini， Café Rio chicken salad， cherry pie bars， carmelitas， lemon drop cookies， Nutella stuffed cupcakes， and raspberry sweet rolls。This feels like a family favorites cookbook， in a good way。 The kind you turn to for comfort foods and pass down to your kids。 I give it five delicious stars。 Thanks to Shadow Mountain Publishing and NetGalley for an ARC to use for my review。 。。。more

Great cookbook！ I read through the entire book in just a few hours， and I did read the entire cookbook。 There are beautiful pictures of the Cheney family along with the amazing food， with a picture for every single recipe （a huge plus and must for any cookbook， in my opinion）！ There are great tips throughout the book， along with a short backstory/intro to each recipe。 The book is divided into recipe types and each section is divided into level 1， 2， and 3 recipes （basic through a little more adv Great cookbook！ I read through the entire book in just a few hours， and I did read the entire cookbook。 There are beautiful pictures of the Cheney family along with the amazing food， with a picture for every single recipe （a huge plus and must for any cookbook， in my opinion）！ There are great tips throughout the book， along with a short backstory/intro to each recipe。 The book is divided into recipe types and each section is divided into level 1， 2， and 3 recipes （basic through a little more advanced， though none seem overly complicated）。 There are little notes from the Cheney kids as well， though， to me， most of them didn't read like they were really written by a kid （other than the ones for the teenager）。 The recipes are each written very clearly， with easy-to-follow directions。 I've seen a few of these recipes on their Instagram but some I haven't。 I will probably purchase a physical copy of this book when it's released so that I have it in my own kitchen。 I look forward to trying out every single recipe in this book！ They all look amazingly delicious！！ There are great tips for involving kids in your cooking and meal prep to not only teach them valuable lessons but to have quality family time as well！ Excellent cookbook that I'm excited to have as part of my collection and to prepare some of these delicious-looking dishes for my own family！***I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for my honest review。*** 。。。more

This cookbook is a good one to keep around if you are wanting to start cooking from scratch more and get the family involved。 Every recipe has a picture with it （always a plus in my opinion） and has tips through out the entire book。 With each recipe， she has a level skill so that you will know if it’s an easy one to try out with the kids helping， or even just yourself if you haven’t ever made it before。 There is a good variety of recipes included， even some basics for storage （like pancake mix）。 This cookbook is a good one to keep around if you are wanting to start cooking from scratch more and get the family involved。 Every recipe has a picture with it （always a plus in my opinion） and has tips through out the entire book。 With each recipe， she has a level skill so that you will know if it’s an easy one to try out with the kids helping， or even just yourself if you haven’t ever made it before。 There is a good variety of recipes included， even some basics for storage （like pancake mix）。 My favorite part about this cookbook though is that it didn’t have anything extremely difficult， rare ingredients （only saw one ingredient one time， that I haven’t seen before）， or odd recipes that my family wouldn’t try。 It truly is family friendly and full of knowledgeable tidbits。 。。。more

Absolutely gorgeous cookbook！ All the recipes have photos and they're all all beautiful and mouth watering。 Just the rice recipe that I have a better tip: wash the rice before， add a tbsp of oil to the pan and sautee the rice for a bit， then add some garlic and salt and saltee and then you add water so this way the rice will be perfect and there's no need to use a fork to fluff the rice。 I received a free digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review Absolutely gorgeous cookbook！ All the recipes have photos and they're all all beautiful and mouth watering。 Just the rice recipe that I have a better tip: wash the rice before， add a tbsp of oil to the pan and sautee the rice for a bit， then add some garlic and salt and saltee and then you add water so this way the rice will be perfect and there's no need to use a fork to fluff the rice。 I received a free digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review 。。。more
