I don’t know about y’all, but my kids love to be in the kitchen. My oldest in particular loves to be in the kitchen not only for the food but for the cooking aspect as well. If you are looking for a way to get your cooking or baking enthused child into the kitchen, look no further. The Kid Chef Junior cookbook was a hit with my daughter!
Disclosure: We received a cookbook in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are solely my own.
As I stated above, my oldest loves to do all things related to cooking. Whether it be baking cookies or cooking up some spaghetti sauce, she loves to be the ‘chef’. We were excited to try out the Kid Chef Junior cookbook! My daughter of course had to try out the homemade pretzel recipe first. In her words “I love to use my hands with this dough!”
Each step is easy for following along as well as pictures for visual aid. There are also fun little tips along the sides of each of the recipes, including some cute jokes! The Kid Chef Junior cookbook is not only fun, but educational. Each recipe has a rating key for parents and kids to see which recipes need a little more grownup help. I loved the list of kitchen tools/utensil, cookware/bakeware, and small appliances. at the very beginning of the cookbook. Majority of the time, our kids do not know the actual name to all the items we use in the kitchen.
There is also a guide for grownups at the very end of the cookbook to assist us in educating our children on the best ways and safest ways to cook. Hands down, this is now one of my top kid-friendly cookbooks! Great news for all of you….you can preorder yours today on Amazon. It will be officially out on October 9th.
Now back to the kitchen with my daughter. She is ready for her next recipe!
I love that you have your kids help you, and I love that there is a cookbook for that! How neat!
Yes! Love that they want to be in the kitchen 🙂
My kids love to help cook, too! I find that it actually makes them more likely to eat whatever I’m serving. Our lives have gotten busy so they usually only help on the weekends now, but I need to get back into involving them!
With school starting back, it has definitely gotten more difficult to have them help in the kitchen. How much fun it is when they are cooking or baking!
Kids in the kitchen? Sounds good to me 🙂
Yes! I absolutely love it!
I love getting the kids in the kitchen, this looks like it would be lots of fun. Thanks for sharing
We had so much fun with this cookbook!
I love this! I regularly have my son help out on the kitchen—it’s a great teaching moment.
It most certainly is a great teaching moment. It is crazy how much they will remember afterwards too!
How fun is this?! My kids love getting in the kitchen and helping me out so something like this would be right up their alley!
It is so much fun! There may be times where I just get them to measure something out or me or even stir where I finish the rest. Either way, they are so happy to be in the kitchen!
This is so awesome! I love all the creative ideas for getting kiddos involved in the kitchen. I want to try this with my nephews. =)
I promise that your nephews would love this cookbook! It has so many fun things in it to get them involved in the kitchen!
Oh, I love this! My daughter helps me cook a lot in our kitchen. One thing I’ve learned is to always expect a mess. When I expect a mess I’m much happier. Also, have them clean up their messes (even if they make a bigger mess doing it.
Yes, there is always a mess! You have to expect a mess or the anxiety level will definitely be at high levels haha! That is a good idea on getting them to help clean up those messes!
One of the best gifts I received as a child was a cookbook. I still have it, still use it, and today thanked my aunt (again) for getting it for me 37 years ago lol.
That is so neat! I wish I had something so special 🙂 I feel that my daughter would feel the same way about having her own special cookbook like that 🙂
Some of my favorite childhood memories are helping in the kitchen. Blessings.
I loved being in the kitchen growing up. Crazy how I still do! I sometimes see that same excitement in my daughter, and all those memories of me in the kitchen start coming back 🙂
