My 7 year old son is into cooking and this was our 4th children's cook book we have bought and by far THE BEST! It is unisex for both boys and girls. It explains the basics so well that I wish I had started with this cook book. The start of the book has information on cooking terms and meanings, kitchen safety, pictionary of tools, measuring, recipe reading and healthy cooking. Recipes are child oriented like "Football Meatloaf" and "Crazy Pet Muffins." The pages are bright and colorful. It is a MUST buy for a budding chef!
Cute titles for each of the recipes, appealing to both boys and girls.My grandsons are the chefs so the book is not too girly for them.Ingredients are simple and easy to find.The book also teaches basic cooking skills, utensils and cooking terms.There are recipes for every meal and goodies, too.
I love the cartoons and kidfriendly recipes, but the ridiculous stress on fat-free everything is sad to see. Fat doesn't make you fat, people. It's actually a necessary building block for every cell in our bodies. In order to make a product fatfree, chemical additives take the fat's place. Not a positive nutritional step for growing bodies. I wouldn't have bought the book, had I known this.
This cookbook is vibrantly colorful. There are some themed pages. For instance, there are some recipes which can be used on Halloween and the colors suite the holiday. The characters throughout the book are in costume for the holidays as well. It is a really great start for kids to start cooking. We know cooking can be a chore but this book makes it super super fun. :)
The Junior Cookbook is very popular with the 5 and 6 year-olds for whom it was a gift. The recipes aren't too complicated and the children like it.
I gave this to my granddaughter for Christmas and she was using it immediately! She feels so important having her own cookbook! Hard back makes it durable and photos are great!
I was hoping for more basic recipes that kids will really eat...at least my kid. I realize the trend now is toward healthy eating and getting kids to do that but a smoothie with flaxseed and tofu doesn't really appeal to my 7 year old. She says she likes the book though and plans to make a few things and she may grow into some of the recipes. It's OK but the Betty Crocker 1957 cookbook that was handed down to her is much more basic and I believe a better book.
Bought this for my granddaughter who is learning how to cook. The recipes are easy and taste good when she is finished. The best part I like is that the recipes tell our "little chef" to clean up after herself when she is finished. So far, she has done a great job of cleaning up. With the exception of smelling and seeing what she has cooked, I can't even tell that she has been in the kitchen cooking. Kudos to Better Homes and Gardens for good recipes and for adding 'clean-up' to their recipes! They must know my granddaughter's penchant for leaving disasters behind herself. LOL!
