Kids Cookbooks

 

Create hours of fun and family memories! These are
kids cookbooks with easy kid friendly recipes that
you and your kids will NEVER forget.

With so many kids cookbooks to choose from, how do you know which are the best kids cookbooks? I've compiled a list of my favorites so you can start with these and decide on the one(s) that look most appealing to you.

The cookbooks should have clear, easy directions and pictures or drawings to help illustrate the steps involved. Also, you should find helpful cooking and baking tips and kitchen safety tips.

Cookbook Review:

Picture Yourself Cooking With Your Kids picture-yourself-cooking-with-your-kids

This cookbook has been a great find. It's not a cutsie cookbook filled with a bunch of recipes involving lots of sugar or smiley faces on the food.  Its not a cookbook you hand off to your children and tell them to get going.  No, it's a cookbook that's for the both of you or the whole family.  It's also a good read (those of you who love cookbooks will know what I'm talking about.)  

The author designed this cookbook to involve kids in the whole process - learning about how food is grown and how it is brought to market, making good nutritional choices, basic cooking techniques, making the kitchen kid-friendly, age appropriate cooking, how to use appliances, etc.  The author educates the adults in a friendly way so they can turn around and involve/teach the children.

What I'm trying to say is that Picture Yourself Cooking With Your Kids is more than recipes, although there are plenty of those. 

The format of the book is kid-friendly with plenty of pictures, instructions, "Try this" boxes, notes, and "Tip boxes". For example, the Lemon Rosemary Chicken recipe has a "freezes well" icon, 4 pictures , info on the time it takes to make and the time it takes altogether including baking, the nutritional information, ingredients, directions, and a Cook's Tip box. 

I appreciate that the recipes are for food that is good for my family.  Light and Fluffy Oat Pancakes, Gobble It Up Turkey Kabobs, Squish Squash Soup, Pizza Your Way, Savory Cheese and Scallion Scones, and Ginger Applesauce Cake are a few of the recipes in Picture Yourself Cooking With Your Kids

There are kids cookbooks out there with easier recipes, but this cookbook is about learning to cook real meals and learning skills that will last a lifetime.  It's about sharing experiences, adult and child, in the spirit of experimenting and cooperating.

 


Happy cookin' adventures with wherever these kids cookbooks take you.
