Customer Reviews

Wonderful addition to our library

Over the last 4 years my 3rd grader has checked this out of the school library more than a dozen times. The pictures are fantastic and she is enthusiastic about us trying "new" foods she wouldn't ordinarily try. She has become more adventuresome and eats everything she creates.

Beautiful book

I bought this book for my 10yo grandson. He loves to fix in the kitchen............he read it cover to cover as soon as he got it. So it does hold a childs intrest. He loved the illustrations and pictures. He seemed inspired to get started. I thought the directions easy to follow and there are a variety of recipes in all catagories. Thank you.

DK Children's Cookbook

My five-year-old picky eaters have declared this their favorite book. They love to cook now, because they can pick their ingredients, or just point to the beautiful photos and say, "Let's cook that!" I have to admit I've started using this book for my own cooking, since it is quite diverse, and, well, simple to use. Happy cooking!!!

Special Education Cooking

I'm a special education teacher for a 18-21 year old program. This book is excellent for my readers and non-readers. The pictures are real items, so there is no doubt what they are to use. The directions are clear and easy to follow and the ingredients are easy to find in a grocery store. There are a variety of foods and nothing that is to fancy to make. It is the most used cookbook in my room!!

Great Children's Cookbook

A lovely book designed to have children learn how to cook healthful meals on their own. DK Publishing is known for their excellent books. This cookbook is no different. There are fantastic photographs throughout the book. Ingredients, kitchen tools and step-by-step methods are pictured to help children understand how to create each meal. This book is very easy-to-understand and is set up for beginner cooks. Another thing that I enjoyed about this book was the way that there were a variety of protein sources, whether it be vegetarian, lamb, chicken or red meat. There are health tips within the book to help educate children on the importance of eating a variety of healthful foods. Food safety tips are explained too. To help test this book out, I had my five-year old son look the book over. He found the pictures easy to understand. Being this book is designed for nine to twelve-year olds, I did need to help him read. But he did like the cookbook, and could follow the recipes. There are a variety of recipes in here. There are recipes for: omelets, granola, tomato soup, cheese and potato pockets, chocolate cake, apple pie, vegetable tart, falafel, Naan bread, fruit crisp, fruit pops, roasted chicken, fishcakes, lamb kebabs, roasted vegetable lasagna, a stir-fry recipe, a curry recipe and much more! If you have a child in the house that is interested in cooking, pick this book up!
