If you want to give your kids a bit more control over the cooking process (still with supervision, of course) you may wonder where to start. Kid cookbooks, like the ones featured on this list, are a fantastic way to get kids excited to cook. They’re full of tasty kid-friendly recipes and simple-to-follow instructions, usually complete with pictures. There are also thousands of online tutorials for those who prefer visual and auditory learning. Young chefs will need more guidance becoming comfortable with navigating and using a kitchen solo. Look for cookbooks that include step-by-step images and a finished shot of most, if not every recipe. "I won't buy cookbooks that don't have photos of the recipes. I like being able to see the end goal,” says Debbink. “This is especially true for kids who are just learning to cook. That's why we made sure to have photos of the recipes in 'Kitchen Chemistry' along with illustrations." Allison Wignall, who also updated this article, is a writer who focuses on food and travel. She’s always in the kitchen trying to recreate recipes from around the world. Her work has been featured in publications including Food & Wine, Travel + Leisure, and Southern Living.

The verdict: Kids' cookbooks

The Complete Cookbook for Young Chefs" by America's Test Kitchen takes our top spot because of its wide range of kid-tested recipes and helpful visuals. If you and your little one are vegetarian, try " The Forest Feast for Kids." Both of you are sure to enjoy the beautiful watercolor images in addition to its fresh, fun recipes. What to Look for in Cookbooks for Kids Age Level Involving kids in cooking meals is not only a great way to build life skills, but also to bond as a family. Depending on their age, there are plenty of tasks that children can handle. Younger kids can help add measured ingredients into bowls. As they grow older, have your kids stir in mixing bowls, peel potatoes and carrots, or measure out spices and liquids. Once they’ve refined their motor skills, tweens and teens can help chop and dice vegetables or monitor things cooking in a pot or pan. Starting kids in the kitchen at a young age is great for them to develop important cooking skills. Measurement charts, conversion ratios, food substitutions, and a glossary of common culinary terms are useful additional content for kids and teens learning how to cook. " Kitchen Chemistry: A Food Science Cookbook" author Andrea Debbink agrees. “I think cookbooks for kids should teach kids real cooking skills that they can build on. There's definitely a place for novelty cookbooks, but I think a lot of kids who are interested in cooking want to be taken seriously in the kitchen and make the same recipes that adults make," she says.
