Kid in the Kitchen: 100 Recipes and Tips for Young Home Cooks: A Cookbook

I gave this to my 12-year-old step-daughter for her birthday and we have loved every recipe we’ve made so far. It’s taught us both so much. We pick a different recipe each time she is with us and she will has a couple she will randomly make now (the Big B.L.A.T is her fave). I like that it focuses on technique and also on weighing your ingredients, since cooking it truly a science. I now make the chicken noodle soup even when she’s not with us!

This book is fantastic for my pre-teen grands. I was concerned it was for younger children, but it is perfect for kids I believe no younger than 8, although I know of many exceptions these days, my grands were not interested in this before now. I'm a huge fan of Melissa Clark, u subscribe to the NYT COOKING, because of her. It is modern and fresh with pictures, great instruction, tips and techniques, and recipes they will eat, and there are many tasty healthy recipes as well. I'M VERY PLEASED WITH THIS! I bought this for 4 grand boys ages 11 to 15 years.

This cookbook is great for kids. My daughter really likes hers. And we also have bought as gifts for friends.

This might be better for pre-teen or teens, for sure.

I bought this book for a friend's daughter because I liked the one that I found at Goodwill so much that I didn't want to give it away! Too many cookbooks that are aimed at "kids" are mostly filled with recipes for sweets. This book not only contains recipes for balanced meals, it actually teaches cooking techniques using basic ingredients. And its recipes for desserts usually provide detailed instructions for how to make them from "scratch" instead of a mix.

My granddaughter loved this. Every time she stays the night we find a different item to make together

Kids love this. They can understand the recipes.

Love the encouragement to teach kids to cook

Great introduction for young people wanting to learn cookingskills

Title was a bit misleading and not what I was looking for. And even so, the recipes are not that easy for beginners that the book is intended for… Over all, very misleading title.

This is the best children's cookbook I have ever found. The recipes are delicious and the instructions are simple to follow but not dumbed down. It allows a child to actually cook proper recipes with the full assortment of flavors, spices and ingredients. Very well done.
