Kids love to help out in the kitchen, but don’t they make a mess? Not if they have good instruction, and this wonderful book is just the ticket. It begins with a section that introduces kids to how to be successful and understand cooking language, prep steps, techniques, and kitchen equipment. Some of these have scan codes for instruction videos. If kids read this short section, they will very likely have good success with the recipes. There are six chapters — Breakfast, Snacks, Lunch, Dinner, Sides, and Sweets. These contain a total of 75 recipes that are well-written and have all the information needed. Each recipe tells how many it serves, the total work and cooking time, difficulty level, what ingredients and equipment are needed, excellent instructions, a mouth-watering photo of the finished product, and more. There are spreads throughout called The Basics that teach important skills such as Knife Skills or Cooking (and handling) Proteins. Kids will love recipes like Fish Tacos with Creamy Cilantro Sauce, Watermelon and Cherry Tomato Salad, or Berry Streusel Bars, especially when they have cooked them by themselves. This is a great way to get kids to eat their veggies!
