Synopsis:
The perfect book for children, this fun and engaging cookbook is written and photographed by a pair of young sisters for budding chefs.
Whether they're helping stir cake batter or producing their own YouTube cooking channel, kids of all ages are getting increasingly busy in the kitchen. This cookbook features twenty classic recipes that are fun, healthy, adaptable, and easy to prepare. From banana bread and the perfect grilled cheese to breaded chicken and apple pie, each recipe is written in a clear, accessible style that young cooks of every level will be able to follow. The author is a young chef whose love of cooking developed from her own family's food traditions like baking popovers with her grandmother and Sunday-night pizza making. By teaching kids basic recipes that can be adapted in endless ways, this book is the perfect launching pad to finding their way around the kitchen--or launching their own cooking careers.

Our Thoughts:
A cookbook for kids by kids!
Esme Washburn first learned to cook from her grandmother when she was very little. She read cookbooks like they were chapter books but noticed a trend with children's cookbooks that included more sweets and simple desserts than actual cooking for kids, so she decided to create one herself!
She has put together twenty easy but delicious recipes that kids will love to cook and eat, paired with amazingly bright and colorful images photographed by Esme's older sister, Calista Washburn.
Learn to make pancakes (two ways!), banana bread (yum!), the quintessential grilled cheese sandwich (my favorite!), pizza (from scratch!), and even how to make bread!
There's even a couple of super helpful tips for what to do before and after cooking, safety tips, important measurements, and a glossary of words and cooking techniques just in case you're not sure how to 'puree' or 'saute'.

This is fantastic!
My daughter is still young but has always been fascinated with food prep and cooking and always helps as much as possible in the kitchen so she was super excited to have a cookbook just for her! There were a few recipes that she was already familiar with but she's excited to help whip a few of these up to try (and I have my eye on that 'Tasty Black Bean Soup')!
This would be a quintessential addition to any child's library, whether they already love to cook or not!
