The Reason Why I Cook Today

I am an 18 year old girl who first got this book about 10 years ago. I recently bought it again because my parents gave it away without telling me. The recipes in this book are so fun and innovative that they made me find my love for cooking at such a young age. Now I cook dinner every night. Parents: if you want your kids to get involved in cooking actual meals, buy them this book! You won't regret it! And to those who say that the recipes are too complex for kids, they aren't giving their children enough credit. Your kids are probably smarter than you. So get this book and open your children's eyes to the wonderful world of cooking.

Special Education Cooking

I am a Special Education teacher. I use this cookbook all the time for my readers and non-readers. The pictures are great and easy to understand what they need to buy. The directions are easy to follow. The recipies are made from common items that are easy to find in a grocery store. It is the most used cookbook that I have in my room!!!

YUMMY!

I bought this cookbook originally for my niece. However, it is such a gorgeous book that I kept it for my 5 year old son. The recipes are pretty simple that most of the ingredients you already have at home. The book includes a picture glossary for the terms that are used in the book such as folding in or separating the egg yolk and egg white. The pictures are magnificent. My son wants to make everything. While the book was created for kids, there are a few recipes that I am eager to try out. They have something in here for everyone. It is not just your PB & J cookbook. This has some real baking and cooking recipes. I cannot wait to try them. I highly recommend this book for the clear cut directions. The lack of fancy ingredients simplify it too. The pictures are worth every penny of the book. The pictures are nice and large so that any aged child can easily follow the steps of the pictures even if they cannot read! Bon Appetit!

Excellent book for all children!

My 10 year old son picked up this book and carried it around with him on and off for weeks. Everyone he showed it to, children and adults, wanted to cook something in it! This book sparked a real interest in cooking and now he is wanting to enter something in our County fair. A wonderful gift!

Fabulous children's cookbook!

Angela Wilkes has created a superb cookbook that, while targeted for 9 to 12 year old children, appeals to people of all ages. From cover to cover, my children and I were delighted with everything we saw. The table of contents shows a beautiful, full-color photo of each dish -- what a perfect device to help a child choose what he would like to make! And the choice is incredible -- there are recipes suitable for every part of every meal, including some wonderful snacks. Many of the recipes are for some very sophisticated creations: this is no peanut-butter and jelly cookbook! No matter how simple or sensational the dish, the directions are all clear and concise, with every ingredient and every step shown by a color photograph. My children have been very successful in following the instructions and making something very tasty from every recipe they have tried. This is an amazing cookbook for young children! (Moms and dads are going to find themselves wanting to make something from it's colorful and appetizing pages too!) I heartily recommend this book to anyone whose child has the slightest interest in learning to cook.
