Great cookbook for pre and early teens.
Easy, fun recipes. Detail on the process involved. There are pages that teach technique. Photos are excellent. My granddaughter jumped right in and made several recipes. At 10 she could handle the information and do the job.

Very informative
Shoes and tells the how and why, not just the what.So many recipe books just give the recipie and some tips. This book gives recipies with pictures and tips as well as informative overviews of basic skills like cutting an onion, what the difference between a chip, dice, mince, shred, grate, and zest is, etc. I really appriciate that it explains the fundamentals of cooking.The recipies also list what cooking utensils will be needed for the recipie and I think thatâs really vital because someone not experienced in the kitchen wonât automatically know what kind of pan is for roasting or what a food processor is or even have one.

Easy to follow and every dish we’ve made so far has been very good.
I got this (and another in the series) for my 12 year old grand daughter and we are using it together to teach her how to cook. The introductory info is well written — easy to understand but not overwhelming. The recipes are easy to follow and so far everything we have made has been very good — these recipes are obviously well-tested. Recommend.

Perfect cookbook for the young chef
My seven year-old grandson loves to cook. We gave him this book for his birthday and he loved it. This is the perfect cookbook for a young chef . It gives A nice legible list of ingredients and explains each step so a child can understand them. He had a great time making lunch for his family.

Cook away!
Bought this book for my 11 year old daughter who loves to cook. It is chalked full with recipes. The recipes are easy to follow and the photos that accompany the recipes encourage a youngster to maybe try something they normally wouldn’t. Recipes offer multiple variations to try. Love the amount of healthy recipes in this book. Teaches about measurements, knife cutting skills, spices and so on. Would be a great gift also for an adult who has never really cooked. My daughter has made several of the meals. Her favorite…..the avocado toast with egg. Also loves the smoothie recipes. Wonderful book to introduce someone to cooking more!
