Kid Chef Bakes: The Kids Cookbook for Aspiring Bakers Paperback – Import, 31 October 2017

My kid loves the book and she's ever so ready to try out new recipes

Most children love helping Mum.or Grandma and this book is excellent , full of things which children love to make.

Kid Chef Bakes by Lisa Huff is our new favorite cookbook! We love it - we learned from it, made delicious food and enjoyed reading it.As a parent of two kids (10 and 14), it is hard to find a great cookbook that does it all:- Has recipes the kids can’t wait to try, and then are happy they did- Is laid out in a way that supports their self-sufficiency in the kitchen with clear directions including what tools will be needed- Encourages experimentation with “Things to Try”- And teaches them (ok, teaches all of us!) new things in ways that make the learning fun with “Baking School” and helpful hints scattered throughout, like the one on page 108 about combining wet and dry ingredients) that helped us understand past outcomes that weren’t what we hoped for.The language is clear and easy to understand for my ten year old. The Baking School is covers a wide array of topics concisely. And the knowledge there was very empowering to my younger baker as it helped her know more than her mom (how to cream butter and sugar most effectively!). I love that it makes baking an accessible adventure / experiment without talking down to the kids. My one wish, as a parent, is to understand the nutritionals or calorie count as that is part of the kitchen education I hope to impart to them - but they can also figure it out from the ingredientsThe pictures and layout are bright, engaging and readable. It is a cookbook my daughter was happy to curl up with and read through like a book. :) And the recipes we’ve tried have come out wonderfully! Pecan Tassies, S’mores Bars and Yogurt Banana Bread. We also like the Buttermilk Chive Biscuits - They would be amazing with chili on a brisk fall day. Next up, we are looking to try a quiche.And the best part is - I get to coach from the sidelines and enjoy their hard work. Great addition to anyone’s bookshelf!Note, I received an electronic advanced reader’s copy in the hopes that I would review the book honestly. I loved it so much I purchased a paperback copy.

This book is perfectly constructed for teaching little ones about the joy of baking. My 8-year-old son loves it. It starts out with a few pages about baking basics, essential ingredients, and kitchen safety. I asked him to read through this section before we actually made anything. I expected him to think this was a terrible chore, but he enjoyed it and was asking good questions. It then moves on to a series of 7 recipes that teach basic baking skills. Work your way through these and you essentially complete a little Baking 101 course, learning how to use the oven, crack and separate eggs, melt chocolate, etc. Then you can move on to more advanced recipes like the zebra cake (pictured). My son was thrilled to produce something so cool and delicious. This book isn't just a collection of kid friendly, easy recipes. It's a very well thought out instructional book that progresses kids from total beginners to skilled junior chefs.
