This is a super cute cookbook for kids and teens. My children loved making the Nutella cookies.
All the recipes are simple to follow and the instructions are clear. We particularly liked the cartoon cat pictures, they really made the book interesting for youngsters.

The photos of the actual baked goods was a plus for adults and kids alike. It gave us an idea of what we would be making. Mouthwatering treats to help bring the family together.

Thank you to #netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to review this book.

So, maybe the title should be adjusted to say “for kids when they work with teens” because this is another one of those books that confuses me. It’s for kids, the illustrations are clever, but kids certainly couldn’t use this without adult supervision, so I’m not sure I get it. I shared the book with my nieces, and some students. The little ones couldn’t figure out exactly what to do, I went through the beginning with them, explaining the terms, and what each picture stood for. They got antsy after the first five or six. But then they made up their own instructions using the pictures. . The older kids felt like the pictures were too immature and they asked why they would use a “baby book “when they could just use a regular cookbook. I didn’t have an answer..
I did love the photographs, and all the final products look great in the pictures.

This is such a cute idea! Especially for kids the images of what to do really help, but even for adults, how can anyone resist the cuteness, right?

Doesn't it make it look A LOT easier for kids? I would have loved something like this when I was about 11-14 when every book seemed so far from my reach. Especially when recipes don't have photos, I'm still not a fan! Cookbooks should always have pictures accompanying each recipe, right?

The book is all with color and images. It's simple, appealing, and a lot of fun. It comes with an index of what each image means, level of difficulty, safety rules, how to measure things, and more.

As for the recipes it has quite many cookies and bars, cakes, cupcakes, muffins, pastries, bread, savory/salty snacks, and how to do some ingredients that you might need if you don't have.

I loved the cat drawings and I can't wait to try out some of the recipes!

I enjoyed this cute illustrated baking cookbook. I know it aid for Kids and Teens but I also feel like if you are a beginner baker you will enjoy this also. Some of the recipes didn't have instructions but I still enjoyed it. Loved it and highly recommend

How cute is this?!! VERY!

This is simply beautiful. I was in love from the illustrations on the first recipe (a cat baking?!).
Everything is clearly explained, everything has lots of space, the recipes even have fun facts!!
The recipes have both metric and US measurements, which is always a bonus in any cookbook.
After each recipe there is a page to fill out how good the recipe was, who made it, when you made it, what things you could change next time you make it, etc. which I've never seen before in a cookbook - what a fab idea!

I would have ADORED this book when I was younger!


So I write reviews for cookbooks as I go through it, taking a break when I see something that's worth talking about - all that love for the book is before we get to the index...which broke my heart. At the back there is an index of bakes by bake length (amazing! include this in more books please!), and an index of occasion for the bakes...and unfortunately what bakes are for "boys" and "girls" ???? WHY ??? it nearly ruined a great book and it's upsetting that it's there, I'll definitely be editing it out if I buy this as a gift for any child.

Also, is not the entire book, a lot of recipes from the back index are not included so I have no idea what the majority of recipes are like.

This is such a cute title and a great way to introduce children of ages to the kitchen. It goes over basics and teach great skills that new cooks can build on. The adorable step-by-step illustrations are a huge bonus.

Cute baking cookbook for younger children. Cooking terms like sift, fold and knead have icons to show the actions used. There are basic rules for safety and food handling as well. The recipes include a color photo, difficulty rating, step by step directions and total estimated time to make each item. After each recipe there is a page for the cook to add notes and ratings. I often adjust cookbook recipes and find this useful. I wish the cover was more colorful to make it more appealing. The cute animals illustrations continue inside the book which will appeal to younger children (but I doubt teens will be attracted).

I didn't mark the book down but my ARC digital copy was not complete. Four breads were listed but I was only shown one. Page numbers jumped by 20 and more pages at times. My elementary school library carries several cookbooks and I think younger cooks will enjoy baking with this book (with parental help). Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a temporary ARC copy in exchange for an honest review.

As a teacher who loves baking, I always get super excited when I see cookbooks for kids and teens. This book is a great one because of its illustrations, safety tips, explanations for baking terminologies, and also reflection pages after each recipe.

I'm not sure if this is because I received the ebook as an ARC- but there were some missing pages and recipes. I noticed that there were some recipes mentioned on the content page that aren't in the ebook. Also, the ebook resolution was low, with the words a tad blurry. Is it meant to be that way? If the actual copy is without these glitches, I would definitely recommend this book.

This is a wonderful cookbook for children. The recipes are easy to follow I love the introduction of each recipe includes a difficulty rating, and includes the estimated time to prep, cook, and rest. It also has how many it makes. The photos are wonderful and I love how at the end of each recipe there is a place for notes. Your child can put the date he or she completed it, how well he or she liked it, who helped him or her, any thing they would change and ideas to experiment with the recipe. I think this is a perfect gift for a child who loves to cook.

Thank you Netgalley for letting me read this book in exchange for my review.

I actually think this recipe book is fab and is something that I would happily use with my daughter time and time again.
At the beginning it teaches you about all the dangers in the kitchen, and what you use to measure certain ingredients along with what certain words mean e.g to knead, to glaze etc.
The actual recipe itself is very easy to understand with step by step instructions, along with a bit afterwards where you can write notes and review on the recipe you have just done.
Great book.

I like the images on the cover and the same style and cat goes through the book cooking/baking the food. I also love that fact that each recipe has a page dedicated to taking notes and to review the recipe after baking it. I was able to do the crumbly snowball cookies and that's when I run into trouble. The crumbly snowball cookies don't state the approximate size the balls need to be before baking, I used a cookie scooper and turns out they were too big. I ended up baking them for 56 minutes instead of the 40 stated in the recipe. The final result was ok, did not loved them, but maybe they needed to be smaller in order to bake correctly. All in all, I believe this can be a nice book for someone that is starting to bake, and for someone that will appreciate the designs and illustrations.

On the plus side, I did take the cookies to work and people said they liked it.

This cookbook is one of the most adorable and easy to read things I've seen in a LONG time. The illustrations are beautifully done, the difficulties help you to decide whether or not your child is ready for that yet, and the recipes are delicious. I'll be trying quite a few of them with my nephews. Definitely earns it 5 stars! Rare that I come out of my romance binge to read anything else but I'm glad I did with this one.

Ok, I wasn’t sure about the cover but grabbed it read anyways because I think it’s cartoony for kids. My kids love this cookbook, they found the recipes and drawings to be easy to understand. They are super excited to try some of the recipes. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a gifted copy. This is my honest review.

What a great cookbook! I downloaded it because I thought my kid would like it! They didn't just like it - they love it!! I'll be telling my friends to buy a copy! Absolutely loving that my kid wants to help in the kitchen now and use their own cookbook!

This book is a good baking book for children. I really liked the pictures, instructions and the recipes. It is the perfect gift for a child, teen as an introduction to baking!

This is a seriously cute cookbook! The recipes look absolutely delicious and I can't wait to try some of them. The way everything is laid out is super simple and I love the illustrations. Those little cats chopping and cooking are so adorable! The pictures of the finished recipes look so scrumptious they had my mouth watering! I think this would be an amazing book to gift someone of any age who likes to bake. Such a fun layout!

I love pretty much everything about this little cookbook! Not only does it have simple but sophisticated recipes for children, it also has the CUTEST illustrations of a CAT COOKING said recipes!!!
The steps, ingredients, and equipment needed are all illustrated. I think this not only adds an element of fun for beginning cooks, but also makes it a bit easier to comprehend. The layout is concise and easy to follow. I’m very much in favor of the addition of a “notes” page at the end of every recipe.
The only thing I would change is the number of recipes behind certain “categories”. For instance, there are only one or two recipes under each section in some cases.
But overall this cookbook would be a wonderful edition to any library. We will definitely be purchasing!

This baking cookery book is aimed at children and teens with sixty recipes to choose from.

It has plenty of different types of recipes to chose from and is divided into eight sections plus an Introduction (no of recipes):
- Cookies and Bars (14)
- Cakes (18)
- Cupcakes (5)
- Muffins (4)
- Pastries (5)
- Breads (4)
- Savoury and Salty (5)
- Making Ingredients (5)

The introduction includes the basics such as following the steps, safety, baking terms and how to measure. There are illustrations to accompany this section.

Alongside a photograph of the finished recipe, it states the number of ingredients required, preparation, cooking and resting times, difficulty, and the number of servings. The ingredients are set out horizontally with an illustration of the ingredient along with its metric and imperial measurement. Illustrations are also included with the equipment required so too do the steps of the recipe. Some of the illustrations also include a kawaii type of cat doing the actions - so cute!

At the end of each recipe, there is a notes page that includes space to put your rating out of 5 stars, the cooking date, who helped, what you would change, and ideas for experiments (some of which are already completed for you).

Some of the bakes do not have a resting time, but it's slightly misleading because they do include in the instruction time for it to cool in the pan and not all bakes can be eaten hot. I struggled to see the writing under the recipe steps. I can't quite tell if it's 3/4 or a 1/2 of an ingredient that is used at one point, it's that small.

At the rear of the book is a list of the recipes split into cooking times, plus a page of occasions for each recipe and there is also a colouring page of the kawaii cat amongst cakes.

Even though this book is said to be aimed at teens, the addition of the illustrations throughout the book has more of a feel for the pre-teen and younger children.

I received this book from Netgalley in return for an honest review.

This book is ideal as a gift or to get your kids interested in the wonderful world of baking. The book however is not just for kids but also for adults who want to start learning from scratch. They say a picture is worth a thousand words and thats what this book incorporates. After all who doesn’t love colorful pictures of desserts to entice yourselves and others. I would love to get the physical book as you can even add your own notes for future reference at the end of the recipe. I can’t wait to try these recipes with my kids.

I recently rebought a strawberry shortcake cookbook I used to love when I was little. This cookbook felt like that one. Cute cartoon images and easy to follow recipes.
