This is a great book for any young child (and adults) interested in cooking or helping out in the kitchen. There are so many illustrated photos, simple recipes, and easy to under instructions for young chefs. I think this would be perfect for any age to be honest. Sometimes cook books geared towards adults are intimidating with a lot of unfamiliar ingredients. This book isn't like that at all.

There are a lot of cookbooks out there for young kids, but not very many for older children. This book is excellent in that it is "just right" for kids that would be turned off by a book made for little kids. And the recipes they made turned out delicious!

I found several recipes in this book that my family will and has enjoyed. The recipes had ingredients that most kitchens have and the directions were very easy to follow. Really nice cookbook. My Grandkids had fun with this

The American's Test Kitchen cookbook for adults is massive and not my favorite cookbook, however, I really liked this one for Young Chefs. It seems with more an more reality tv cooking shows, kids are becoming interested in cooking too. This would make a great holiday or birthday gift.

Because this book was written by America's Test Kitchen, it was tested with over 750 kids to make sure the recipes were kid friendly- that right there is the best selling point for me. Throughout the book are comments on the recipes from the testers, giving helpful feedback from a kid's point of view- there are even product reviews, which is nice. The instructions are clear and explained thoroughly, without talking down to kids, and the recipes are good, healthy fare that most eaters will like, with suggestions for customizing to suit different tastes. Lots of photographs are spread throughout, basic techniques are covered, and there's a nice section on nutrition in the back. A great gift for aspiring chefs of all skill levels!

Wonderful approach to cooking for kids by a reputable source. The introduction includes basic tips for focusing while cooking, reading recipes, measuring, etc. There is a lot of science and math education being covered in this book. I appreciate that it includes finer details, such as instructions for garnishing and plating, that other children's cookbooks may leave out. This book clearly respects children as chefs with real potential. There are a wide variety of recipes, which all include lots of photos and feedback from real kids. This is a comprehensive guide, with beautiful photos, and easy to follow instructions.

What a wonderful resource for young children. This is a complete beginners guide for kids to start learning kitchen basics and essentials. It is simplified down with step-by-step instructions that leave very little room for error letting kids learn confidence in an important life skill.

Awesome! Finally a kids cookbook that can be appreciated by older kids! None of that "how to stick raisins in peanut butter" boringness. America's Test Kitchen has come up with a book that shows kids how to make real food they want to eat and share with friends and family. Pancakes, oatmeal, panini, soup, meatballs, stir-fry, banana bread, and more give kids so many options to find out what they like and how to cook it. Thank you for giving kids the respect they deserve in the kitchen! I'll be buying 2 copies--one for my family and one for my school library.

I can't wait to use this book with my eleven-year-old daughter! She is learning to cook and The Complete Cookbook for Young Chefs is packed full of recipes that are perfect for her.

The book begins with cooking safety, defines cooking terms, and different utensils needed. Each chapter is divided into categories such as breakfasts, cooking for a crowd, desserts, and healthy eating. The pictures are large and colorful.

I think this will become our go to kids cookbook!

Great resource to have to help young chefs learnt he basics of cooking, as well as some appealing, achievable recipes. This would be a nice gift for an aspiring young chef. The recipes have lasting appeal, and would probably be made repeatedly.
