Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Gr 4 Up-This cookbook contains over 100 kid-tested recipes and 20 desserts from America's Test Kitchen and is contemporary eye-candy for middle grade readers and teens. Each recipe includes short testimonials from some of the 750-plus kids who were part of the test group, making the book fun and interactive. The cookbook also features informational sections for new chefs, such as "Getting Started in the Kitchen" and "Conversions and Equivalents." Taking a stance on nutrition, the work provides a section on "Healthy Eating 101" in the back matter, which includes information dedicated to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's MyPlate system of five food groups. The design of the book is busy and blocky, reminiscent of Pinterest or Instagram, with informational asides and related tidbits with snappy headings. The organization follows a similar tact, including general information-such as how to choose the right kid-friendly knife-among the recipes, rather than in the front matter of the book that is dedicated to "Getting Started in the Kitchen." The pictures are small (there are no full-page spreads) and few step-by-step photos are included. Younger cooks and emergent readers may feel overwhelmed by the sheer enormity of information contained on a page, as the format sometimes fights the procedural and chronological nature of a recipe. VERDICT Despite some flaws, this is a must-have book to update tween cookbook collections-and a great holiday buy, too.-Shannon O'Connor, Unami Middle School, Chalfont, PAα(c) Copyright 2011.

    Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2023

    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, there's also an easy kitchen tool called an egg separater, yes really, that could have been shown among the kitchen tools. Much easier, less gross, and all around cleaner. Otherwise, this book and the baking book for kids are mostly recommended, except they both provide these same glaringly bogus instructions for unsuspecting children. Hmmm, maybe that was the point?? 🤓

    I got this along with the baking book for my kids for Christmas. My 10 year old has tried a bunch of recipes and each one has turned out so well. He loves the challenge of trying to do it without asking for my help and the recipes are simple so he usually accomplishes his goal of making delicious food without needing help. Each recipe is simple and easy to follow and is laying a foundation of good, solid basics. Every time he makes something new his confidence increases along with his interest is cooking and baking. Even my 8 year old is interested in making food and she made a cheesy noodle recipe with very little assistance from her dad.

    I have looked into MANY kids cookbooks and this is the ONLY one I found that is a true cookbook (not that type of kids cookbook that is like “now use the cookie cutter to cut your toast into a heart, etc.” this has legitimate recipes that kids can make for the whole family. It teaches kitchen skills and health and safety tips. Nutrition information and balanced diet info also.

    Good recipes for cooks of all ages. Recipe directions are clear. Many good "hints". A worthwhile purchase for older kids thru teens, and for beginner cooks. Excellent recipes and hints. A "keeper".

    Purchased this cook book for my son’s 12th birthday. He loves to help cook and bake so this was a perfect gift. Easy recipes for him to do himself.

    My 10 year of daughter loves this book and uses it often, especially when her friends come over. The recipes are well-explained, easy to follow, and fun for kids. Some ingredients are more common in the U.S., but we’ve had no problem finding substitutes. Overall, a great cookbook that keeps her excited about cooking!
