I received a free ebook copy from NetGalley in exchange for a fair review.

This is a nice, easy way to introduce your kids to cooking. I always appreciate cookbooks aimed at children that have actual children in the book! You’d be surprised how many don’t, or depict the kids watching, not participating. It makes a big difference.

Anyway, there are lots of easy, fun recipes that kids will be able to tackle themselves with minimal adult assistance. Meals and snacks are covered, with different implements used, like blenders, food processors, ovens and cooktops. Safety and proper usage is covered, with lots of options and substitutions listed.

There’s a reason this book was updated and reprinted!

We really loved this book. Breakfast sundaes have become the new weekend breakfast of choice for me 3 and 5 year old and the best part is they make them completely by themselves. Really easy to follow and simple recipes that are doable even by my 5 year old and some of them the 3 year old can do. Great that although they’re suitable for kids to make they are suitable for the whole family to eat! And there no need to buy any extra equipment, its all stuff that we have in the house so all we need to do is the food shop.

A great book for aspiring chefs. Includes safety tips, how to prep and organize and yummy photos. Will get it for the library.

I enjoyed reading the book and even tried a few of the recipes. I recommend it to all those who love cooking and trying out new recipes!

So we tried a few recipes and my kids loved them. They are still very young so I needed to supervise them but the step by step pictures helped them to stay focused and motivated. The author seems to really understand what kids need and like. For me as an adult I would have wished for more lunch and dinner recipes. But for children making their first independent steps into the world of cooking the featured snacks and treats were perfect. Nothing is too complicated or takes too much time. It really introduces cooking as an entertaining way to spend your time.

As far as cookbooks go, this one takes the cake for photography and layout! I love that each page has kids of all ages and gender cooking, many nationalities represented and a great food selection! My kids looked through this one with me and it was very inspiring for them to see young kids experimenting in the kitchen like they do. Love this book, can’t wait for it to come out!

This book is really well done! I’m even considering purchasing the hardback to use with my kids in the kitchen. The material is well organized and kid friendly. Highly recommend!!

Such a delightful little cooking book for me and my toddler. Lots of lovely recipes and the images are attractive and engaging. There's so much encouragement to have fun with food, which is something I try to do so that my little one tries new things. The book is a US book so there are the differences in terms when it comes to some food items and how things are measured. But using the cup system is a lot easier for my little one anyway so that's not an issue.

This is a great cooking book for both kids and adults. I loved the beautiful photos and the clear directions for different skill levels. I’m so excited to try some of these recipes with the grands! I’m looking forward to seeing this in print updated from the previous version.

Thank you to NetGalley and Storey Publishing for the opportunity to read an advanced reader's copy of this cookbook for an honest review.

“Cooking Class” by Deanna F. Cook is the 10th anniversary updated edition featuring 72 recipes that kids can make by themselves (or with some adult supervision if not old enough to use sharp knives and the stove top) with easy, step-by-step photo instructions.

I loved this cookbook so much that I will definitely be purchasing it for my 10-year-old daughter! She’s been showing more interest with helping in the kitchen, but she’s intimidated by anything other than measuring and mixing. When she saw some of the photos in this cookbook of other kids her age making recipes on stove tops, she suddenly felt inspired and asked if she could try it herself! The step-by-step photo instructions made it super easy, and I loved that many of the recipes offered alternate ingredients for kids with food sensitives and allergies.

I would absolutely recommend this book to children and even younger teens who are interested in cooking but need some guided help. It’s also a great family resource to create healthy meals and snacks. The whole family could get involved to plan out meals for the week together and allow the kids to do most of the cooking.

This is an excellent recipe book for children and adults to use. The recipes are very easy to follow and include pictures of each step. They are delicious as well! My nephew and I really enjoyed making several recipes in this book. He enjoyed enjoyed the Sleepover Party pancakes and I loved the Buttery Biscuits!

I want to start by saying that this book is amazing for kids as well as adults. The recipes are simple and delicious. The beginning of the book talks about all the necessary steps to take before you start cooking. I loved the layout and am excited to make this recipes with my 6 year old son. This book would be great for homeschooled kids to learn cooking lessons independently, while getting to cook with an adult. This is a must get.

Beautiful photos of recipes! Made you want to try a recipe. Easy and clear directions! My students love to checkout cookbooks and this is one that will be bought for our library!

A great guide on getting children started in the kitchen and learning how to cook for themselves and others. I cant wait to try out some of the recipes with my daughter. The steps are clearly set out and the pictures are beautiful

I received an ARC of this cookbook from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is a fantastic children's cookbook. There are a lot of detailed pictures to help kids learn to cook. And the recipes all look wonderful!

Thank you NetGalley and Storey Publishing for this eCopy to review

Cooking Class is an easy to follow recipe book for children. I love the cooking rules and lessons at the start, its a great introduction to keep everyone safe and have fun in the kitchen. The recipes are very colourful and eye-catching and easy to follow. The difficulty rating was great as they could decide for themselves which recipes they could try themselves and which they might need help with.

Great first cookbook full of delicious recipes with easy to get ingredients

This cookbook is a fabulous tool for teaching kids to cook and be comfortable in the kitchen. There are tons of photos that makes it easier for kids to follow the recipe and good kitchen vocabulary. There are recipe ratings for difficulty (1, 2 and 3 spoons) so kids can distinguish better if they can do a recipe on their own, or if they will need more adult assistance.
I tried a handful of the recipes with my kids. They were easy and yummy. Such a fun book.
Bonus: in the back of the book there are cute games, recipe cards, etc for kids to cut out.

This cookbook is perfect for young children to learn the ropes in the kitchen and feel confident at the same time. The detail and pictures included in each recipe make it easy to follow and reference. I love that there are measuring spoons with each recipe so you know know the difficulty level before-hand. The book also includes hand washing, table setting, and basic kitchen hygiene information. All in all, this will be a perfect tool to include in our homeschool curriculum.

This is a great cookbook for kids of just about any age. I love that the step-by-step instructions also include photos so that readers know what it should look like as they move along through the recipes. The intro sections about basic safety rules and kitchen vocabulary are perfect for young chefs and bakers who may not be familiar with a lot of the terms used in recipes. And of course the recipes are all fantastic! There is such a great variety of foods to choose from that even pickier eaters can find multiple things to try. I received this as an e-book but I'll definitely be on the look out for a print version to keep in the kitchen!

This is perfect for introducing your kids to cooking. I wish I’d known about it when my kids were younger! I think it’s also a good resource for those with executive function issues, no matter what age they may be. Deanna Cook breaks down each recipe into easy-to-manage steps, and nothing in here is overly complicated. Each section separates the recipes into difficulty levels by the number of spoons by the name—easy has one spoon, etc. I like how even the basics are included, like how to crack an egg, how to cook pasta, how to make a fried egg, and more. I’ve got my eye on a few recipes to try out with my kids, like granola bars, popcorn balls and a chicken curry that looks absolutely delectable.

At the beginning, Cook goes over what you will need and safety rules, and the end has some fun bonuses like place cards, conversation starters and stickers & labels. Everything’s here for your little kitchen buddy! Publication Day is October 1st!
