Overall they explain basics of baking well. I did't like how the author made cooking sound super easy, and baking hard.... I also wish they had included a photo of the finished product or of the process. The recipes were ok, but I think they could have included more unique recipes. Good for brand new bakers. I guess I am little more advanced then who the book is for.
...pictures of finished dishes and some of them actually being assembled for learners are always very helpful and appreciated. Also less emphasis on food processors when a large bowl, strong spoon or spatula, and old fashioned elbow grease got the job done for centuries past. Potato mashers are good for mashing more than potatoes, for example. The kids can learn a lot of creativity is already available to them without the modern, newfangled tools their parents may not be able to afford or have room for in their kitchen!
I am writing this review for my thirteen year old daughter. She received a complimentary copy from Callisto publishing company. The cookbook had easy to follow instructions and most of the ingredients are ones you have at home. I have tried almost half the recipes in the book and so far my favourites include strawberry shortcake in a jar, giant soft pretzels, and mashed potatoe beef casserole. The only thing I would change about the cookbook is to include more finished recipe pictures.
A missed opportunity not having a picture of every recipe to show kids what the end result should be in a cookbook that does an excellent job explaining basics at the beginning.
