I didn't read this one thoroughly。 It's a good introduction to baking for tweens and contains testimonials from kids in the test kitchen。 It's full color and contains lots of instructions for how-tos。Introduction:4 Secrets to Success in BakingDecoding BakingspeakWhat's up with ingredientsHow to weigh and measureHow to measure ice waterMicrowave 101FAQ10 essential prep stepsTools to make the work easierChapter 1: Muffins， Quick Breads & Other Breakfast TreatsSome of the recipes are tweaked to mak I didn't read this one thoroughly。 It's a good introduction to baking for tweens and contains testimonials from kids in the test kitchen。 It's full color and contains lots of instructions for how-tos。Introduction:4 Secrets to Success in BakingDecoding BakingspeakWhat's up with ingredientsHow to weigh and measureHow to measure ice waterMicrowave 101FAQ10 essential prep stepsTools to make the work easierChapter 1: Muffins， Quick Breads & Other Breakfast TreatsSome of the recipes are tweaked to make healthier （whole wheat flour， bananas， pumpkin， zucchini） Spiced applesauce muffins using half white flour and half whole-what。 I kind of smiled when I saw this recipe。 It's a throwback to WWI when sugar and wheat were limited。 I've made applesauce cupcakes with honey and with sugar。 They're both good， surprisingly。 This section contains some weird things like zucchini bread and granola and some more traditional things like simple cream scones， crumb cake， buttermilk biscuitsAlso tells you what to do with leftoversChapter 2: Yeast Breadsstarts off simple with basic sandwich bread。 It has some odd stuff like Middle Eastern Za'atar Bread and yummy things like cinnamon rolls and soft pretzels。 They show you how to shape the pretzels。 This is the only recipe I want to copy down。Contains a section on Yeast Bread 101 and a sidebar on the magic of yeast。Chapter 3: Pizza， Flatbread & Other Savory GoodiesHow to make pizza dough plus other recipes to make with the dough like pepperoni rolls and pizza saucealso empanadas and Brazilian Cheese BreadChapter 4: Cookies & BarsThese cookies are SOOO basic。 Also includes brownies and bars。 Boring。 Chapter 5: Cakes & CupcakesAlso basic and boring。 Some odd ducks like Tahini-Banana snack cake， olive oil cake， mini tea cakes with citrus glaze and Individual Flourless chocolate cakes。 I want to try chocolate snack cake， berry snack cake and um that's all。 The decorating tips are more helpful than baking。Chapter 6: Fruit Desserts， Pies & TartsPie dough and recipes for pies， etc。 Some standouts include Lemon-Olive Oil Tart （Dad wants niece to make this for him）， Cookies and Cream Ice Cream Pie， Ruffled Milk Pie （uses pre-made store bought phyllo）， Raspberry Clafouticontains conversations and equivalents and recipe stats， index。 This is such a basic cookbook。 I would present it to a kid （or adult） who wants to get started but doesn't know how and doesn't have an adult to teach them。 I learned from my grandmother and my nieces learned from my mom， my brother and me。 This book is not for those who aspire to be on the Food Network Kids Baking Championship or devotees of The Great British Baking Show。 （We can't wait for the Junior version to pop up on YouTube） 。。。more

Review in progress， as long as the little one is interested in baking :）p。 62 - 5 stars - Roman-style Focaccia - An easy enough recipe to follow， despite being an yeast dough; kiddo managed all by himself and produced a tasty treat。p。 114 - 5 stars - Jam Thumbprint Cookies - After this one the surprised kiddo told me that baking is actually easy。

In The Complete Baking Book for Young Chefs the professional chefs invited young bakers to work alongside them in the test kitchen to create recipes that kids can not only make， but will also enjoy。The book includes plenty of culinary instruction along with the recipes。 10 Essential Prep Steps walk the young chef through cracking and separating eggs， melting butter， and chopping fresh herbs。 Cake Prep 101 shows you how to line a cake pan with parchment paper。Practical tips help young chefs get t In The Complete Baking Book for Young Chefs the professional chefs invited young bakers to work alongside them in the test kitchen to create recipes that kids can not only make， but will also enjoy。The book includes plenty of culinary instruction along with the recipes。 10 Essential Prep Steps walk the young chef through cracking and separating eggs， melting butter， and chopping fresh herbs。 Cake Prep 101 shows you how to line a cake pan with parchment paper。Practical tips help young chefs get things right the first time。 For example， when making cinnamon rolls you would normally spread butter， and cinnamon-sugar on a large rectangle of dough， then roll it up into a long tight log。 For easier rolling， the book suggests cutting individual strips of buttered and cinnamon-sugared dough and rolling them up one at a time。Chapters on Yeast Breads and Fruit Desserts like pies and tarts take this baking book to the next level for kids with a little experience。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 Baking Book for Young Chefs。 。。。more

Great cookbook。 My only complaint is that most of the recipes aren't super healthy。 It's great for treats and desserts though。 Great cookbook。 My only complaint is that most of the recipes aren't super healthy。 It's great for treats and desserts though。 。。。more

Loved this book and my students will love it too。 Easy to follow recipes with clear directions。 Ingredients are readily available and easy to acquire （maybe even already in people's homes） and the pictures are helpful and beautiful。 Loved this book and my students will love it too。 Easy to follow recipes with clear directions。 Ingredients are readily available and easy to acquire （maybe even already in people's homes） and the pictures are helpful and beautiful。 。。。more

Borrowed this title from the library and after finishing it - went ahead and bought it。Recipes are recognizable and very approachable， pictures are good and giant chocolate chip cookie was an instant hit， but I lowered the sugar quantity by a half （chocolate chips were plenty sweet）。 So， I think it is worth buying， having fun with a child and tinkering with recipes， by adjusting them to your tastes。

Surprised how good the outcomes are！ Especially with a 6 year old at the helm。 This book is saving us during the pandemic。 It’s beautifully done。 Kid cookbooks have come a long way since I was a kid。 This one is chock full of information that will be very helpful to my daughter when she’s a little older and more interested in the whys and hows。 For now we’re just using the recipes and we’re quite satisfied。

Got out of the library for my daughter。 We have baking books but she， in particular， really gravitates towards "kid-friendly" books that are specifically geared to her。 She had way more fun making scones from this than just following my scone recipe in my cookbook。 Good recipes and well produced package。 Now she wants a copy！ Got out of the library for my daughter。 We have baking books but she， in particular， really gravitates towards "kid-friendly" books that are specifically geared to her。 She had way more fun making scones from this than just following my scone recipe in my cookbook。 Good recipes and well produced package。 Now she wants a copy！ 。。。more

I think this is an excellent introduction to baking for people of any age。 So much information is covered in this one volume！ The photos are vibrant。 A significant portion of the recipes involve simple ingredients and cooking tools that most people likely already have， and all the recipes seem easier enough for the relatively new baker。I love how each recipe includes so much extra material to cover lots of details about quality baking。 Also the kids' quotes often brought a smile to my face with I think this is an excellent introduction to baking for people of any age。 So much information is covered in this one volume！ The photos are vibrant。 A significant portion of the recipes involve simple ingredients and cooking tools that most people likely already have， and all the recipes seem easier enough for the relatively new baker。I love how each recipe includes so much extra material to cover lots of details about quality baking。 Also the kids' quotes often brought a smile to my face with their humor and insight。 The only reason this book didn't earn 5 stars was because it doesn't stay open easily， which makes it less than ideal for use in the kitchen。 。。。more

What’s I like about this book it that it includes interesting and slightly daring recipes: there’s enough familiar that a couple new ingredients or spices are readily accepted by kids。 The two recipes we made were delicious and expanded my 10-year olds palate。

These recipes are for foods kids would actually eat。 It has lots of pictures and also contains detailed instructions for prep， measurements and substitutes。 It’s very practical， the instructions are clear， concise and well written。 It's a good book for a young baker， or someone new to baking。 I’ve found several recipes I’d like to try。 I would definitely recommend it。 These recipes are for foods kids would actually eat。 It has lots of pictures and also contains detailed instructions for prep， measurements and substitutes。 It’s very practical， the instructions are clear， concise and well written。 It's a good book for a young baker， or someone new to baking。 I’ve found several recipes I’d like to try。 I would definitely recommend it。 。。。more

This is a great beginning baking cookbook not only for kids but anyone who is new to baking。 It is well written and illustrated and divided into chapters that make sense。 There are good illustration and step by step instructions that are easy to follow。 The recipes are not exotic ingredients and can be found in most pantries。 This is part of a series put out by America's Test Kitchen for young cooks。 Highly recommend for grandmother's who enjoy spending time in the kitchen with their grandkids。 This is a great beginning baking cookbook not only for kids but anyone who is new to baking。 It is well written and illustrated and divided into chapters that make sense。 There are good illustration and step by step instructions that are easy to follow。 The recipes are not exotic ingredients and can be found in most pantries。 This is part of a series put out by America's Test Kitchen for young cooks。 Highly recommend for grandmother's who enjoy spending time in the kitchen with their grandkids。 I received a copy of this ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review。 。。。more

A really strong beginner's baking book that shouldn't be limited to the young chefs of the title。 Anyone who is starting out with baking， or with baking in a specific category （like yeast breads or cakes）， can benefit from its pages， as can anyone just looking for a good collection of core baking recipes。 A really strong beginner's baking book that shouldn't be limited to the young chefs of the title。 Anyone who is starting out with baking， or with baking in a specific category （like yeast breads or cakes）， can benefit from its pages， as can anyone just looking for a good collection of core baking recipes。 。。。more
