Who this kids recipe book is for

This recipe book is for young cooks who love helping in the kitchen and want their own collection of favorite recipes. It suits children aged about five to twelve, parents teaching basic cooking skills and grandparents passing down family dishes. Cooking builds confidence, math and reading skills, and a book written in a child's own words and drawings becomes a treasured keepsake as well as a practical guide.

How to use your kids recipe book

Start by reading the kitchen rules together, covering handwashing, knives and the stove. Write each recipe on a recipe page with ingredients and simple numbered steps, and draw the finished dish on the picture page. Keep a list of recipes your child wants to try. Use the taste test page to rate new foods honestly. Learn cups, spoons and other measures on the measures page, and make a shopping list together before cooking.
