My middle daughter wants to be a chef, and she is the one who tested most of these recipes. I love how it gives a variety of range of difficulty, it has different requirements from ones they can do themselves to one an adult is needed. It has visual, and step by step instructions. It is colorful, vibrant to keep your eyes focused especially for ADHD kids. The print is not too small so my dyslexic child did not have trouble reading it because of the print, and spacing between the words. I wanted to add as we have now used several of the recipes. I love all the vocabulary, where food comes from, healthy ways, these recipes are dye free which is a HUGE factor for my family. It has clear step by step with visual to help out with each recipe, how to properly peel an egg, to how to egg separate, and what tools to use, plus their names. The level of difficulty is still very easy and my 4 year old can do several of the recipes herself! Which makes it all the more user friendly!

This cookbook sets a new standard with its stunning photography and layout.
What I like was I appreciate the diversity of kids cooking on every page, representing various ages, genders, and nationalities.
It's truly inspiring for my little nephews to see young chefs experimenting in the kitchen. They can't wait for its release!

This is a wonderful book with easy-to-follow and handy cooking and food preparation tips, instructions and a wide range of fun recipes of children’s favourites and healthy options.
The tools and ingredients in the recipes are accessible, and the look of the book is highly engaging.
My child and I love this book and I will look into the writer’s and publisher’s similar books.

This has got to be one of the best kid's cookbooks I have ever read. I love looking through them from time to time, and this one is premium.
I love the breakdowns on how easy to hard, or slight age groups, and how you can help your child, from whatever age learn to cook.
The food is definitely recipes that children would eat and would love to eat. I love that some of the recipes are a little more grown up and challenging, like fried rice and the soup section. There is a great range of stove top and baking recipes to help kids learn safety in the kitchen, as well as techniques in the kitchen. Most of these are recipes that I would make for any meal. The breakdown of different chapters was more than I thought it would be, but great for kids who have a hard time deciding what they would want to eat.
Also, in all of the pictures, there are only kids. No adults, not even their hands, which would be so awesome from a kid's point of view to see only other kids in their book. I love that perspective.
I am sad I only have this as an ebook, and will probably have to buy it for the stickers and tags at the end. There are so many additions to add to the food that is made and I love the interactive part of that.
Overall, it is fantastic and I highly recommend it!

A lovely introductory starter book for children to learn the basics of booking.

Some wonderful recipes included with great descriptions and colourful pictures as a guide.

Cooking Class is a fantastic resource for anyone looking to inspire a love of cooking in children and teens. Its thoughtful organization, engaging content, and educational value make it a must-have in the library of any young aspiring chef. Whether as a tool for culinary literacy programs like ours or for fun family cooking sessions at home, this book promises to be a valuable addition that encourages the next generation to embrace cooking with open arms and curious minds.

My kids and I have been cooking - and baking - and snacking our way through this book. Doing this with a 10 and 5 year old is not always easy, however this cookbook includes easy to follow instructions, bright photos, and kid friendly / adult approved recipes. We have several new favorites and a few yet to try, however highly recommend. My 5 year old LOVEs the blueberry muffins and my 10 year old requests to make Chicken Curry and popcorn chicken frequently!
The "Cooking Class" section is also amazing. It really helped break down all the steps that can be easy to forget when cookie with kids!

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!
