Customer Reviews

just what I was looking for

This is just the cookbook I was looking for. It has lots of pictures and some very good recipes. I bought it for my four year old, who is always baking with me. She is happy to have her own cookbook now and I will be borrowing some of the recipes in it myself.

Great kids cookbook

I bought this for my 12-year old grandson who enjoys cooking. He loved it! The first thing he tried to make was the pizza with the fresh yeasty dough. It turned out great! This is a wonderful book for your kids.

A Nice Start to Baking

The instructions in this book are clear, and the recipes are good. We've made about 4 recipes in this since we got it for Christmas. The instructions are written so my 6 year-old daughter can understand them, and (with some help) she can understand the recipe. Many of the recipes are made with ingredients that are either around the house or easy to get. I recommend this as a starter book for kids who enjoy being in the kitchen.

Love it! Love it! oh- and the kids do too!

I traveled to a few different stores to puruse their cookbooks for kids. My children (3 & 5) love to cook and bake with me, and I was looking for a book with good pictures/illustrations, and recipes that were easy to make with them, but also good to eat. This one, found in a kitchen store, fit the bill. The pictures are lucious and plentiful and I can easily invite the children to pick a recipe by looking through the cookbook themselves at the pictures. The recipes are well written, and have render so far great results. I really like how that offer up a list of all items needed at the begining of each recipe. Great book for anyone wanting to bake with their young children or want to give a book to an older child ready to try on their own.

Written for kids, on their level, for their enjoyment

Not your average cookbook for children, Williams-Sonoma Kids Baking provides a basic course in baking written just for kids. The instructions are written at a child's reading level and include how to measure ingredients, correctly break eggs, beating ingredients, testing for doneness, etc. Even all the photographs are children doing the tasks. The recipes were obviously chosen to be ones that children like to eat and include cookies, breads, pretzels, pizza, pies, and cake. Williams-Sonoma Kid's Baking is a great introduction to cooking that children can read their self and is highly recommended.
