My kid tried cooking once and it flopped. Why would this be different?
My kid tried cooking once and it flopped. Why would this be different?
Because these recipes had to work for kids before they were printed. More than 750 kid testers cooked them in their own home kitchens, and you'll find their comments throughout the book. A first recipe that actually turns out is what makes a kid want to make the next one.
Is it too babyish for an older kid?
Is it too babyish for an older kid?
No. These are real breakfasts, snacks, dinners and desserts the whole family eats, not decorated novelty snacks. Newer cooks can start with shorter recipes while confident kids take on a full dinner.
Do I need to be a good cook to help?
Do I need to be a good cook to help?
Not at all. The recipes are written for kids to read and follow themselves, with step-by-step photos of the techniques, so you're not translating every line. You stay nearby for the knife, stove and oven while they take the lead.
Will it actually get used, or end up on a shelf?
Will it actually get used, or end up on a shelf?
With 100+ recipes across every meal of the day, there's always a next thing to make, from a weekend breakfast to a side dish for the holiday table. It's a full cookbook they grow into, not a one-weekend activity kit.
Is it safe for kids to use knives and the stove?
Is it safe for kids to use knives and the stove?
The book teaches each technique with step-by-step photos, and the recipes are meant to be cooked with an adult nearby. You decide which steps your child handles, especially anything with knives, the stove or the oven.

Hear it from our customers!
"She Hadn't Asked To Cook Since Her Cookies Flopped"
Our last kids' cookbook gave her flat cookies and tears, and she gave up. This one she reads on her own, and the first recipe turned out exactly like the photo. Now she's planning a whole Sunday breakfast and I'm just there for the oven.
"I Get A Photo Of Every Dish He Makes"
I live two states away from my grandson and wanted a gift that wasn't another toy. He texts me a picture every time he cooks something from it. Last week we stayed on FaceTime while he made dinner for his parents.
"Saturday Breakfast Is His Job Now"
My son watches every cooking show and kept asking to do it for real. The step-by-step photos mean I'm not reading every line out loud. Saturday breakfast is officially his, and I sit at the counter with my coffee.
