This cookbook is a great family resource for meals that all the family can help make. The recipes are easy enough to teach children , which is a win . As the mother of teenagers, it is a lifesaver to have your kids have an arsenal  of recipes in their  back pocket that they can use when they need to cook for themselves. I also like that the ingredients are easy to find at your local grocery store . Great book to have on your shelf .

A lovely cookbook which encourages the whole family to get involved in the kitchen. I particularly liked the idea of the Family Bake Off that the author suggests. The recipes are easy to follow and look delicious.

After looking through this cookbook not only was I craving just about everything I saw in the pages, but I was anxious to try out so many of these recipes. This book looks like food that I would actually want to eat and food that my family would enjoy. The photography is stunning and the variety of recipes was another bonus to this well rounded cookbook. I am definitely grabbing a copy for myself and as a gift for a friend! I cannot wait to try out some of these dishes!

I was offered the chance to view this book on NetGalley and I really appreciate it. I love a good cookbook and this one has lots of delicious recipes.

The book starts with breakfast recipes, offers dinner recipes, steak, chicken, Mexican, pastas, pizzas, and even desserts.
One of my favorite things is that there is literally a picture with every recipe! I love that!

This book mentions cooking with your kids but it’s not geared towards kid foods. I don’t have kids and this cookbook still completely appeals to me.

The recipes I plan to try first are:
Sausage hash brown casserole 
Cheesy potato casserole 
Pan fried tortellini 
Broccoli cheddar soup
Bottom of the jar chicken
Steak fajitas
Garlic butter steak

This cookbook is phenomenal. I tried out several of the recipes myself. I made the Slow Cooker Pot Roast and my step son (former Army and has traveled the world trying dishes all around) said it was the best roast he had ever tried. I also must rave over to the Cheesy Potato Casserole. Wow, just delicious. This recipe book shares useful tips and notes throughout, including suggestions for having your kids involved. I am adding this to my library's cookbook cart immediately. I also recommend to children's departments that collect cookbooks for parents of young ones.

I find it difficult to read cookbooks in digital form, but even so, this one looks like it would get used frequently in my house. The recipes weren’t too complex, and they each had a color photo of the finished product. (A huge plus in my book.) I want to have my kids help out more in the kitchen, and there are several recipes in here that I can see us all enjoying. This is a cookbook I would like to add to my collection.

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.

This is a lovely cookbook. The recipes look delicious and the photos are mouthwateringly beautiful. I love the tips with each recipe. This is one my family will return to again and again!

When life for the entire universe and planet has turned on its end, you are continuing to #maskup to be in #COVID19 #socialisolation as the #secondwave is upon us, AND the worst sciatica attack in your life means you MIGHT sleep 3 hours a night,  superspeed readers like me can read 300+ pages/hour, so yes, I have read the book … and many more today.

I requested and received a temporary digital Advance Reader Copy of this book from #NetGalley, the publisher and the author in exchange for an honest review.  

From the publisher, as I do not repeat the contents or story of books in reviews, I let them do it as they do it better than I do 😸.

From the time her children were toddlers, family cooking blogger Carrian Cheney found creative ways to get her children interested in cooking, partly to teach them basic kitchen skills so they could be part of the solution when they were hungry and partly to instill in them a joy of creating and presenting delicious meals, as her own mother had taught her.

From food prep to clean-up, this unique cookbook guides the way through every step, including meal lists and easy-to-follow recipes, and features dollops of heartwarming family stories, insights, and kid-friendly food activities to keep young chefs focused on fun in the kitchen.

The book includes 75 recipes that begin with basics such as fried eggs, pizza dough, and baked potatoes. As new cooking skills are learned, the recipes progress to guaranteed kid favourites like chocolate chip pancakes, steak fajitas, and apple dumplings. Recipes are joined with tips to help home chefs master the art of cooking, from stocking a pantry to proper kitchen etiquette and safety to how to add flair to a table setting—even how to coax a picky eater by tempting their tastebuds.

Raised in the Kitchen is a cookbook for parents and kids about much more than learning to love to cook. It’s about bringing families together with cooking memories that will last a lifetime.

It has been proven that kids who participate in the kitchen during dinner are more likely to eat what has been prepared so get them in there, the earlier the better, and you are less likely to have picky eaters. There are a lot of great tips and ideas in here and the recipes are appealing and will make the kids happy to eat them. The recipes themselves are well written and understandable by cooks of all levels and the photos make the food very appealing to myself and other lovers of food out there.

What I especially love about the book is that it uses mostly whole ingredients instead of pre-prepared and packaged foods. My one nephew says that I never have any food in my house, only ingredients --- that is why I cook so much. I also refuse to eat or cook with Frankenfoods such as "chick'n" and its 88 ingredients vs. 🐔chicken🐔 having one!)

As always, I try to find a reason to not rate with stars as I simply adore emojis (outside of their incessant use by "🙏-ed Social Influencer Millennials/#BachelorNation survivors/Tik-Tok and YouTube  Millionaires/snowflakes / literally-like-overusers etc. " on Instagram and Twitter... Get a real job, people!) so let's give it 🍲🍲🍲🍲🍲
