This is a great cookbook for budding cooks! Compared with other cookbooks geared toward kids, I appreciated many things about this one. First, recipes were not simply "kid favorites" - there were a variety of different cuisines represented. The photos are great, and instructions are clear. I especially loved the tips - while I am a quite experienced cook, I learned great tips for things like omelettes. Plus, I love the focus on locally sourced and nutritious foods. Finally, the many variations suggested in many recipes helps kids learn to be flexible and experiment with their cooking - either based on their personal taste or based on what they have available!

I accessed an electronic copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

This cookbook is incredible! It has incredible pictures that are really engaging and display great ideas. This is super differentiated from making biscuits to cute ways to display food to making something simple like applesauce. This is a must have for kids who love cooking and would make an incredible gift to a kid who likes cooking along with some basic kitchen tools and an apron. I think every public library should have a copy and it would be great for elementary through middle through high school libraries. I highly recommend!

This is a perfect cookbook for all beginning cooks, or for people like me who are insecure cooks. It starts with a list of what you'll need, followed by a lof of tips and useful recipes for simple dishes. I used to work in a life skills class, and this would have been a great asset to have then. Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this

There are some great tips and great Intros to cooking. The book has easy to harder things to teach your kids while still making it fun. I can’t wait to use this with my kid to introduce him to cooking.

This is a bright, accessible cookbook for kids of all ages. Younger kids will enjoy the fun recipes with an adult. Things like making food into animal shapes would appeal to my 4yo. Older kids can learn a lot from the intro and extra instructions, and the recipes are simple enough for them to make on their own.

Kids cookbooks do great at my rural library, and I'm sure this will be a hit too.

Thank you NetGalley and Storey Publishing for the ARC! I will purchase for my library.

How wonderful that Storey Publishing has released a tenth anniversary edition of Cooking Class! I was not familiar with the book at all, but how I love it!

Deanna F. Cook has penned the quintessential cookbook for kids. She’s divided recipes into categories based on how much stovetop and knifework is involved (including a so-called “one-spoon” category that forgoes both), and she emphasizes safety and hygiene at every turn. How wish I’d had a book like this for my children!

In the interest of full disclosure, I received this book from NetGalley and Storey Publishing in exchange for an honest review.

This is a great book to introduce children to cooking. I enjoyed the introduction to safety and supplies, etc. the recipes are easy to follow and I liked the inclusion of lots of photos. The bright colors are engaging. My son is really excited to start cooking!

This kids cookbook is great! It breaks everything down for them to understand, do on their own, when to seek adult help and even to encourage them to pickup after! This book is full of pictures and fun recipes for kids to follow sorting them out by experience levels by spoons. The author really acknowledged kids wanting independence to explore and be little chiefs and hosts. Parents will enjoy this one too. Only thing that should be strongly noted is age range this is targeting as recipes call for knife use. Highly recommend this fun engaging cookbook!

This is a really cute kids cookbook with fun photos and bright colors. I liked that in each section, the recipes were ordered from easiest to most complex!
