I can’t wait to try these recipes with my kiddos. There are so many yummy looking options they will all love. Even my most picky eater will be able to find something to love in this cookbook.

Raised in the Kitchen is a sweet, simple book with a very specific aim: Teaching you basic meals so you can teach your children. It’s not your average cook book, it’s much simpler, and it’s not a children’s cookbook, because the recipes are not written for children.
It contains all of the basics from breakfast to dessert and bread (bread is second in the book, but if you are a beginner, I would work my way up to it by trying other recipes first) but it also means the average cook may not feel challenged enough, or just miss some more innovative ideas.
For me, it wasn’t that exciting, I would have liked slightly more interesting recipes or a book interspersed with recipes to do and read with children (after all, raising them in the kitchen means teaching them how to read and follow a recipe) but it is a great starter book if it’s what you are after and what you need.

Absolutely gorgeous cookbook! All the recipes have photos and they're all all beautiful and mouth watering. Just the rice recipe that I have a better tip: wash the rice before, add a tbsp of oil to the pan and sautee the rice for a bit, then add some garlic and salt and saltee and then you add water so this way the rice will be perfect and there's no need to use a fork to fluff the rice. I received a free digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review

Flipping through this family-friendly cookbook made my mouth water! The decadent photos included are beautiful.
The recipes are largely made with ingredients most homes have lying around and the ones you may not have are easily retrieved from your favorite grocery store. I like that the recipes are varied with different cooking methods. You have options for stovetop, oven baked, slow cooker, and instant pot.
I look forward to trying them! Thank you to Shadow Mountain and Netgalley fire the advanced copy! All thoughts in this review are my own.

This book was received as an ARC from Shadow Mountain Publishing in exchange for an honest review. Opinions and thoughts expressed in this review are completely my own.

I loved every recipe featured in this book and loved how Carrian incorporated her kids into each recipe and even included a section on tips for teaching kids to cook. I also grew up in a family of cooks and now my nieces and nephews are now loving cooking and could use more recipes to do with me and this book is absolutely perfect. Carrian also included recipes that they love including cheesy potatoes, mac and cheese and the chicken recipes. I also love that she uses whole food and nothing processed since our children deserve the very best. I know that this will be a potential candidate for a future cooking demo and so happy to get the kids involved too.

We will consider adding this title to our TX Non-Fiction collection at our library. That is why we give this book 5 stars.

Raised in the Kitchen by Carrian Cheney is a cookbook that has some interesting recipes and pretty pictures. I made the 3 Cheese Marinated Tomatoes Salad, and it was so delicious. I plan on trying more in the future.
