This is a great recipe book for kids! It's also great for neurodivergent people, kids and adults, I found it very easy to follow and didn't get overwhelmed at all.

Every recipe is broken down into even the most basic steps without it being information overload. I liked how there was a difficulty level using spoons for each recipe too.

I liked the extras at the start and end like kitchen rules, folding a pretty napkin, conversation starters, etc. You could make it a whole fun activity for yourself and your kids using them! The only thing I wasn't really into was parts of the book felt a bit preachy but it wasn't a big deal I'm just not sure if kids would care for it.

The top thing I look for in recipe books, especially for kids, is that the recipes are actually things people want to eat day to day and this has that! I hate opening up a cookbook and you'd only really use a handful of the recipes in it but our family would use a lot of the recipes in this book and thoroughly enjoy them! At first I found myself thinking I wish there were more options in terms of other meals like lunch and dinner but if you think about what this is, a starter point for kids, what's here is actually perfect.

The pictures and the layout is very kids friendly and makes the book more interactive for kids and helps them focus on what they're doing

I am so excited for this book. Not only does it include great recipe's that the majority of kids and teens will eat, but it also includes cooking information. Things that include how to properly set the table, clean up after cooking, fold a napkin and so much more. I would add this cookbook to my collection as an adult even. I also see it as a great graduation gift for those going out on their own. The pictures are colorful and inviting, the recipe's include regular ingredients and household staples, and more.

I enjoyed this cookbook. I liked that the recipes were easy for my daughter to follow and were practical. And the few she made everyone enjoyed. I definitely would recommend this cookbook!

This book is so incredibly thorough with beautiful photos, helpful tips and kid-friendly instructions. Perfect for the budding foodies in your home. Paired with some kitchen tools and a cute apron, this would make such a fun gift for your favorite young chef!

Received via netgalley as an ARC copy

Fantastic book to help children learn basic food/cooking/nutrition skills and start a long lasting healthy relationship and interest in food.

I will be buying a physical copy for my kids

This cookbook is exactly what I was hoping it would be! Our 2 and 4-year-olds love being in the kitchen with us so I knew this would be a great addition to our cookbook library. I appreciate that the beginning of the book goes over important safety rules. That is such an important foundation for my boys to have when they are helping out in the kitchen especially as they get older and can help more. The illustrations are colorful and eye-catching which is perfect for young eyes. Most of the recipes seem really achievable with kids and we are excited to try them out!

Thank you to Storey Publishing and NetGalley for the ARC!

This fun cookbook geared for young kids offers straightforward and easy to understand recipe instructions and kitchen terminology for those wanting to start helping in the kitchen more or becoming more responsible cooks. Included in this cookbook are basic recipes like how to make a hard boiled egg and bacon as well as more advanced recipes like making your very own cheese square crackers and tortilla chips! There's recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert, as well as snacks and each recipe is labeled with a level of difficulty.
This is a big hit with my 6 year old who is currently really interested in helping in the kitchen, and wants to be more independent in cooking. I think it would be a great book on up to pre teen age as well.

Pros: excellent photos and step-by-step guides, probably the best in all the kids cookbooks I've seen so far.

Cons: very US-centric and therefore might not be as suitable for the UK market. What is Canadian bacon, for example? I have no idea, and also it looks like mortadella, is that normal?

Overall excellent cookbook for getting kids interested in cooking and experimenting in the kitchen. However parents outside North America should probably prepare in advance by tweaking the recipes to suit local ingredients and measurements.

My 8-year-old son loved making his very own cinnamon sugar mix using the simple recipe. My daughter was happiest while making yogurt sundaes with the fruit and granola. The colorful pages and easy layout was appealing and got the kids excited about trying the recipes.

My middle daughter wants to be a chef, and she is the one who tested most of these recipes. I love how it gives a variety of range of difficulty, it has different requirements from ones they can do themselves to one an adult is needed. It has visual, and step by step instructions. It is colorful, vibrant to keep your eyes focused especially for ADHD kids. The print is not too small so my dyslexic child did not have trouble reading it because of the print, and spacing between the words. I wanted to add as we have now used several of the recipes. I love all the vocabulary, where food comes from, healthy ways, these recipes are dye free which is a HUGE factor for my family. It has clear step by step with visual to help out with each recipe, how to properly peel an egg, to how to egg separate, and what tools to use, plus their names. The level of difficulty is still very easy and my 4 year old can do several of the recipes herself! Which makes it all the more user friendly!

This cookbook sets a new standard with its stunning photography and layout.
What I like was I appreciate the diversity of kids cooking on every page, representing various ages, genders, and nationalities.
It's truly inspiring for my little nephews to see young chefs experimenting in the kitchen. They can't wait for its release!

F a n t a s t i c.
This is a wonderful book with easy-to-follow and handy cooking and food preparation tips, instructions and a wide range of fun recipes of children’s favourites and healthy options.
The tools and ingredients in the recipes are accessible, and the look of the book is highly engaging.
My child and I love this book and I will look into the writer’s and publisher’s similar books.

This has got to be one of the best kid's cookbooks I have ever read. I love looking through them from time to time, and this one is premium.
I love the breakdowns on how easy to hard, or slight age groups, and how you can help your child, from whatever age learn to cook.
The food is definitely recipes that children would eat and would love to eat. I love that some of the recipes are a little more grown up and challenging, like fried rice and the soup section. There is a great range of stove top and baking recipes to help kids learn safety in the kitchen, as well as techniques in the kitchen. Most of these are recipes that I would make for any meal. The breakdown of different chapters was more than I thought it would be, but great for kids who have a hard time deciding what they would want to eat.
Also, in all of the pictures, there are only kids. No adults, not even their hands, which would be so awesome from a kid's point of view to see only other kids in their book. I love that perspective.
I am sad I only have this as an ebook, and will probably have to buy it for the stickers and tags at the end. There are so many additions to add to the food that is made and I love the interactive part of that.
Overall, it is fantastic and I highly recommend it!

A lovely introductory starter book for children to learn the basics of booking.

Some wonderful recipes included with great descriptions and colourful pictures as a guide.

Cooking Class is a fantastic resource for anyone looking to inspire a love of cooking in children and teens. Its thoughtful organization, engaging content, and educational value make it a must-have in the library of any young aspiring chef. Whether as a tool for culinary literacy programs like ours or for fun family cooking sessions at home, this book promises to be a valuable addition that encourages the next generation to embrace cooking with open arms and curious minds.

My kids and I have been cooking - and baking - and snacking our way through this book. Doing this with a 10 and 5 year old is not always easy, however this cookbook includes easy to follow instructions, bright photos, and kid friendly / adult approved recipes. We have several new favorites and a few yet to try, however highly recommend. My 5 year old LOVEs the blueberry muffins and my 10 year old requests to make Chicken Curry and popcorn chicken frequently!
The "Cooking Class" section is also amazing. It really helped break down all the steps that can be easy to forget when cookie with kids!

I received a free ebook copy from NetGalley in exchange for a fair review.

This is a nice, easy way to introduce your kids to cooking. I always appreciate cookbooks aimed at children that have actual children in the book! You’d be surprised how many don’t, or depict the kids watching, not participating. It makes a big difference.

Anyway, there are lots of easy, fun recipes that kids will be able to tackle themselves with minimal adult assistance. Meals and snacks are covered, with different implements used, like blenders, food processors, ovens and cooktops. Safety and proper usage is covered, with lots of options and substitutions listed.

There’s a reason this book was updated and reprinted!

We really loved this book. Breakfast sundaes have become the new weekend breakfast of choice for me 3 and 5 year old and the best part is they make them completely by themselves. Really easy to follow and simple recipes that are doable even by my 5 year old and some of them the 3 year old can do. Great that although they’re suitable for kids to make they are suitable for the whole family to eat! And there no need to buy any extra equipment, its all stuff that we have in the house so all we need to do is the food shop.

A great book for aspiring chefs. Includes safety tips, how to prep and organize and yummy photos. Will get it for the library.

I enjoyed reading the book and even tried a few of the recipes. I recommend it to all those who love cooking and trying out new recipes!
