Young chefs get their turn in the kitchen with America's Test Kitchen's The Complete Cookbook for Young Chefs. Each recipe is broken into three sections: Prepare Ingredients, Gather Cooking Equipment and Start Cooking! Along the way, America's Test Kitchen explains to kids why certain methods are used, along with extra details such as techniques for slicing chicken or instructions for making homemade croutons. Additionally, The Complete Cookbook's introduction offers instructions on food preparation, safety and kitchen basics.
Kids will be delighted to find recipes that are adaptable, offer alternative methods and even include reviews from other kids who've tried them; parents will love the highly educational format. With each recipe clearly labeled for skill level, there's something for every young chef. --Kyla Paterno, former YA and children's book buyer
