Liz: Such a handy cook book for kids. The only thing I'd change is having some more everyday recipes and pictures for all the recipes since kids like to see what they are making. But it's not enough of an issue to take away a star.

ATLASATLAS: First the positive. For critique, see pulled pork and coconut-lime popsicles, below.

This book is what I hoped it would be; for special cooking. I gave it to my son for his 9th birthday. He is very independent in the kitchen for someone his age. However, many of the recipes still involve a lot of adult guidance. My son spent the first couple days just reading through the recipes, bookmarking the ones he wanted to try first. We planned a grocery trip and bought the ingredients. Many ingredients are not on-hand in your pantry. (I'm fairly adventurous, but we still live on a budget). So, for example, I have cumin and coriander, but not in seed form. I don't have a mortar and pestle, though I'd like to get one now. I don't know what Maldon flake salt is, so we used table salt instead. I love the use of fresh ingredients throughout.

Recipes we've made:

Salsa - delicious! Tomatoes, cilantro, lime, jalapeno, red onion, cumin, pepper. Alot of chopping, so this is mostly an adult-recipe.
**I wish the reason to wear gloves was given. We found out the hard way when my son rubbed his eyes while handling jalapeno. It sounds obvious now, but I had no experience with hot...

WidowMakrWidowMakr: Kid Chef is not your ordinary kids cookbook! We were looking for a cookbook to give our daughter on her 10th birthday when we discovered “Kid Chef.” She already has the William Sonoma “Fun Food” kids cookbook and has enjoyed making recipes from it, but many are typical “kids” food type recipes and sometimes take shortcuts like using ketchup or buying packaged products. We were looking for something that had more interesting recipes and would teach her good cooking techniques. Kid Chef is just perfect!

The first day she got the book she brought it to her room and read it cover to cover. In the last 3 weeks since getting the cookbook, she has made for us the Cheesy Egg Sandwich, Simple Scrambled Eggs, Easy Tzatziki, Minty Lamb Burgers, Coconut Ice Pops, and Chocolate-Pomegranate Brownies. I’d say she did 80-90% of the work on the recipes herself, needing a little help from us from us to do things like frying the eggs or doing some chopping when time was tight. The recipes were all, every single one, fantastic! We love that they don’t cut corners - real ingredients and sophisticated cooking techniques. As some examples, for the Easy Tzatziki sauce you dice the...

llawrence04: I'm a nanny and I'm always looking for new things to excite the children I take care of. And this was perfect! The oldest already loves cooking and the younger sister was excited about trying something new. We sat down together and read the first couple of sections together. Pretty awesome to include important information such as cleanliness, food safety, oven safety, how to use a knife, etc. Once we finished with these I left the book overnight and told the girls to pick one entree and dessert recipe they wanted to try together the next time I came over. They were so excited that the older one had already written the grocery list before I arrived :) (I consider this a win). I was excited that the recipes they picked included new and healthy food options (and I'm sure their parents did as well). We completed both recipes, following them word for word, and I have to say not only was it fun working in the kitchen with two excited girls but the food was actually tasty! Can't wait to try another recipe.
