Delicious Recipes for Young Cooks: A Comprehensive Cookbook for Kids and Teens

Elizabeth Riley: I was very impressed by the quality of this book when it arrived. It was a great birthday gift for a teen wanting to learn more about being independent in the kitchen.

DrPQ: There are many cookbooks out there for kids who like to cook, but this one from the wonderful folks at America's Test Kitchen is the book to buy. There's a real concern that while each recipe is kid friendly and fun, it is also nutritious and the instructions, educational without being heavy handed. There are short, illustrated discussions of basic kitchen tools and how to use them, and safety considerations in the kitchen. I bought the more expensive spiral version as a gift that can be opened and propped up for ease of use.

EyesofLight: My teen grandsons said they were getting bored with making the same food all the time. They are 15 yrs old and over six feet tall and eating ALL the time! I wanted a guide for them with tempting photos, lots of helps and charts (this book is loaded, front and back!), nutritious recipes, and a lay-flat book. It's not just for KIDS -
I love this book too!
TEN STARS!!

Critical Eye: I love that this book covers many fundamental of cooking, let's thing chefs understand terminology nuanced measuring methods and helps introduce kids to organized way of cooking. The graphics and very appropriate while the layout is very typical of a regular cook book. I also love that whole we can find any recipe we want online this is a lovely little go to for building confidence for even beginner adult cooks. The title addressed to "young chefs" can also be interpreted as an adult who is new to cooking! :)

JANET: Basic recipes with good directions and photos. I'd have loved to have had this helpful info when I was young and trying to learn to cook by myself. It was always a joy to surprise my mom with food on the table when she got home from work, even when just a grilled cheese sandwich (made in an old pie pan under the broiler) and a can of soup I'd opened and heated on the stove! The possibilities available in this book are a great beginning to open the imaginations of curious kids to tastes, textures, and the many rewards and confidence boost of good cooking!
My only negative comment is the use of food processors and similar newer tools when a large bowl, a spoon or spatula, and some elbow grease worked fine as 'food processors' for centuries...insert eye roll here! Also, describing to the kids how to to separate an egg USING YOUR BARE HANDS was a completely new and approaching barbaric idea I had never heard of or even thought of doing, ick! When there are always two halves of eggshells to use from one to the other, why would anyone pour the raw egg in their hand to let all but the yolk then dribble through their fingers?? Aside from the convenient shells already in your hands,...

Joe Llwyd: A nice little list of recipes for kids. Not the most comprehensive and some recipes aren't the most creative, but good for a beginner young chef.
