The Complete Baking Book for Young Chefs

November 20, 2019 By Annette1 2 Comments

Click here to go to my disclosure policy.

I have lots of memories of cooking with my lad, teaching him the skills he needs in order to function well as adult.  Now he can pick out a recipe and make it.  He’s not the keenest of young chefs, but he can follow a recipe!  🙂  I hope in time he’ll learn to relax a bit about how to cook, and that recipes are guidelines not exact scientific ingredient lists.  🙂 But that’s a discussion for another day!  🙂   Anyways, cooking together is FUN, and The Complete Baking Book for Young Chefs helps YOU have fun in the kitchen with your children.   A book filled with recipes written for children, giving them the confidence they will cook food that they and other children will enjoy.

The Details of The Complete Baking Book

I’ve not seen very many cookbooks aimed at children, so when this review arrived I wasn’t sure what to expect.  I was pleasantly surprised.  Informative, good pictures, quotes from other young chefs, youth friendly language without talking down, and skill teaching.  A well rounded book, let me tell all about it.

A Fantastic Resource

America’s Test Kitchen has produced a fantastic book to help young chefs (and their mentors) learn how to bake well.  There are no meat dishes, or vegetarian casseroles to be found.  This book is all about baking, so cookies, breads, cakes, pies and the like.  More than 100 recipes to be found.

The abudance of images and illustrations makes it a treasure because you can see what you need to do.   

Therefore, without hestiation, I urge you to help the young chefs in your life.  Go out and get The Complete Baking Book for Young Chefs.

    I do like the look of this and it looks a bit more advanced than the one we got Miss J for her birthday last year. Will definitely check it out. Thanks!

      it was a good book I thought, It doesn’t have a lot of allergy-friendly alternatives which might be something you need to be alert for.
