The first meal of the day really is the most important. Kids who eat breakfast do better in school. (It’s true.) And weekend breakfasts are fun for the entire family. Start your day right!

Snack food is fun. Looking for an after-school nosh or maybe something for a sleepover party? It’s all here.

“This is a quick and easy way to make popcorn.” – Hudson, 10

Making dinner is a great way to up your cooking game. And nothing says “I love you” like a home-cooked meal.

“Kind of sweet because of the sauce, but broccoli balances it.” – Mary, 9

Celebrate something special with something sweet. Bake amazing cakes and cookies or chill out with homemade ice-cream.

“Good balance of tart strawberries and sweet cream.” – Owen, 11

Phenomenal First Cook Book
I purchased this as a first cook book for a friend’s 11 year old daughter! First of all the quality is amazing! Hard cover book made with amazing quality! (It is not spiral bound like previous buyers received, there was also not any printing or binding errors in the copy I received)! I love the design and layout of the book as well. Vivid images and colors. I love the little tips and trick they add around the recipe!I went ahead and provided photos of the list of recipes in each section so you can determine if there are enough recipes your new cook will enjoy making and eating!Another thing I found amazingly helpful was the recipe stats they provide. This can be hugely beneficial for someone who has to be very aware of specific stats in their food. My first thought would be a person with type 1 diabetes and their need to calculate carbohydrates as closely as possible! I have personally never seen a cook book offer this information.This is the kind of book I wish I had as an early cook!

Bought this book for my 11 year old daughter who loves to cook. It is chalked full with recipes. The recipes are easy to follow and the photos that accompany the recipes encourage a youngster to maybe try something they normally wouldn't. Recipes offer multiple variations to try. Love the amount of healthy recipes in this book. Teaches about measurements, knife cutting skills, spices and so on. Would be a great gift also for an adult who has never really cooked. My daughter has made several of the meals. Her favorite.....the avocado toast with egg. Also loves the smoothie recipes. Wonderful book to introduce someone to cooking more!

The introductory info is well written -- easy to understand but not overwhelming. The recipes are easy to follow and so far everything we have made has been very good -- these recipes are obviously well-tested. Recommend.

I purchased this for my younger son's birthday and he loved it. He made different items from the book and they turn out to be delicious. The recipes were easy to follow and the instructions were clear for 9, and 10 year old boys.
