A cool book! I xeroxed a few "tips and tricks," as well as a couple of recipes.

Little Guy has recently expressed interest in the kitchen - helping to make supper and bake desserts.
Cooking Step by Step from DK Canada seemed like the perfect starting place for Gramma and Little Guy to cook together. (Check out the other great book suggestions in the 'Maker March' boutique.) #DKMakerMarch
There are fifty recipes included under the headings Light Bites, Main Dishes, Sweet Treats and Baked Goods.
Musts for a children's cookbook - colour photographs and lots of easy to understand instructions. Check. Cooking Step by Step has a simplified ingredients list that employs pictures of the ingredient and a plus symbol. Perfect for little ones. Basics such as hygiene and safety etc are covered and are good beginner foundations. Measurements are given in both imperial and metric.
Little Guy is at the younger end of the recommended age range (6-8), so we stuck to some simpler recipes. Ones he was interested in eating! Pancakes, Spaghetti and Meatballs. And then the baking section - his favourite. The Lemon Muffins were really good. (Little Guy decided to leave out the poppy seeds though) The favourite of all though, was the Clever Cookies recipe. The dough is a good basic recipe - and the fun comes in adding different bits. We divided the dough into four portions, then added chocolate chips, dried cranberries, raisins and blueberries. Tada! Four different cookies.
There are more recipe choices that would appeal to a more experienced palate and an older child such as Gazpacho, Falafels, Salmon Parcels and a few others. I actually liked some of them for myself - there's a quick and easy Fried Rice, a Quiche recipe and super simple flatbread I'll most likely make for myself.
STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) is a focus in learning in school systems today. Cooking is a great way to explore many STEM principles. So much can be learned and experienced in the kitchen. Measuring, techniques, tasting, new foods and the satisfaction that comes with creativity and sharing. And spending time together! Cooking Step by Step is a book that will grow with Little Guy. Thumbs up.

A great book for kids who are dedicated to learning the fundamentals of cooking! Introductory pages cover the basics of measuring, equipment and reading a recipe. The recipes are culinary essentials (omelets, quiche, fried rice, pizza, sticky chicken, salmon parcels, meatballs, vegetable soup, cookies and desserts) that kids and adults will enjoy. I love the many photographs of ingredients, step-by-step instructions and the finished dish.

Basic recipes that people usually eat with step-by -step photos. Each recipe is on two facing pages. Thinking about this for my nieces and nephews.
Even ingredients are listed by photos and plus signs. Each is around 4 steps snd each step photographed.
The format is also very easy to follow for a visual person, and there are conversion in the back, step by step tips for things like onions in an appendix, and a glossary. It starts with safety snd hygiene tips and a caution to always have an adult present.

The DK Cooking Step by Step cookbook is a good guide for the young cook. It contains several pieces of information, such as cooking terms, measurements, cooking tools, and safety. I especially liked that the recipes of fried rice, pizza muffins and chocolate slab were included. It's sure to be a good start for any young person.

After going through each recipe and trying a handful of them, I think this is certainly a manageable cookbook for your young chefs. Super easy and loads of colorful pictures make it practical for most homes. I certainly found some new recipes to add to my rotation.

I love the photography in this book! I’m a firm believer that cookbooks should have full color photos and this book does that beautifully! It seems really kid-friendly, and I like the variety of ingredients it exposes kids to. I’m excited to try some of these recipes.

Nice simple intro to cooking for kiddos, as well as understanding that food can come from non-processed sources without costing a ton of time & money...also, not a good idea to read while hungry!

NOW I'm very hungry. Amazing book--though for a children's level cookbook, it has equipment that even I don't have! Good heavens!

Well done
It makes me feel like I can actually make food that is edible and fun! Clear instructions and tasty recipes!
