We liked this childrens cookbook. Surely in these times of Corona you yourself have to make it a great time at home. So we like to try some more recipes out of this book. Have a great weekend with your loved ones. Now we have more time to read and spent time with one an other. 🌷🌷🌷

I'm just gonna say....I don't think Kids do cook or have cooked half of these recipes...nor should they want to in my humble opinion.

This cookbook is super fun and cute!!! Almost every recipe has a picture and they are gorgeous - especially helpful for your toddler to help you choose what to make! Some recipes have pictures of the ingredients (for example, making chicken salad - there's so many varieties and the recipe has photos of optional mix ins (like they do in their magazine, if you you've ever picked up Food Network Magazine))

At the end of each section there's a fun little quiz, like identifying cereals, or close ups of foods.

The book is sprinkled with tips and facts to give the recipes just a little more fun and variety.

Lots of really fun recipes that most kids would love. Love the different takes on common foods - like the variations of ants on a log would provide endless fun for lunch sides/snacks.

It doesn't claim to be a vegetarian cookbook so I hold no points against this but found the dinner section super meat heavy. I found lots of other things in the other sections I could easily do or substitute though!

I love that it includes a whole section of the 'fake out cakes' - they look so amazing!

And the end includes some fun coloring pages.

This is a fun spiral-bound cookbook for kids!

It's filled with recipes and photos for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, desserts, and fake-out cakes. It includes tips and facts. For example, the recipe for chocolate-banana crunch pancakes also says Mike Cuzzacrea ran a marathon in 1999 while continuously flipping a pancake in a frying pan and the tip is that you'll know your pancakes are ready when you see bubbles on the batter.

Each recipe tells you how long it will take to make plus the number of servings.

My kids love the fake-out cakes. It has instructions with photos on how to make cakes that look like a cheeseburger, ice cream popsicle, giant s'more, candy bar, peanut butter and jelly sandwich, bowl with cereal, fried chicken cake pops, steak and fries, pizza, and mac and cheese (though we haven't tried any of these yet so it might not be as easy as it looks).

There's also a pop quiz at the end of each section. Breakfast has 15 photos of different cereal to see if you can guess the name, lunch has close up photos of 15 foods to see if you can figure out what food it is, etc.

Lots of Kid Appeal

This sampler contains nineteen recipes that will definitely appeal to kids. They do rely , to some extent, on prepared and boxed products, i.e. frozen waffles, cake mix. I have a strong preference for from scratch creations. The instructions are clear with no hard to find ingredients or tricky techniques required. Colorful and informative photographs enhance the experience. Older kids should be able to complete the recipes with a minimum of adult supervision. Worth a look if you have a budding chef in the household.

The Elf is right at home working around the kitchen, so this book is perfect. The recipes are many and varied. The Elf especially likes the gluten-free section of desserts so Papaw can be a recipient of some of the Elf’s baked goods. There’s even some not-baking activities. The Elf’s Mimi likes how the book opens up with a spiral binding. The cover is sturdy and even it has activities on the inside of it. The Elf has tested several recipes and got rave reviews. At this writing, Bubba has yet to get a taste, but he’s hopeful.

Get Ready To Drool

Here are 150 recipes for young chefs which include a Pineapple French Fry recipe and a Chocolate cake shaped like a cheeseburger. There is also a Tex-Mex and Tuna Melt on an English muffin. The recipes are easy to follow and have mouth watering, vibrant illustrations. (It really does look like a burger.). Fun for all is to be had.
Happy Eating!!!

This is a great book to get kids in the kitchen. The recipes are challenging, but fun and there are several recipes where kids can ‘choose their own so it’s to their liking. There are lots of photos and tips, and I love that the book lies flat.

I wish the savory sections were larger; I also wasn’t wild about the coloring section since none of my kids were interested in it.

Interesting ideas

Several of these recipes would be good for adults, too. I wasn't too crazy about most of the English muffin ideas, but I could totally see kids excited about the crinkle-cut veggies and fruits.

Food, cookies and desserts

It is very nicely designed and illustrated.
It has recipes for food, cookie dough and desserts.
Some are very easy and some are more expensive and difficult to make.
All in all a good book for kids. Very imaginative.

Cute book

Its really simple and a fun kids book, I love the cheeseburger cake and the waffles. To give it a culinary touch, add in your own seasonings, techniques, and just have fun. This is one of the cookbooks my kids will be learning from.
