The Kid's First Cook Book would make an excellent introduction to cooking for any child. It is full of easy-to-follow recipes for delicious things to eat. The contents page is followed by detailed information about how to use the book and a set of useful rules for cooks.

Each recipe is extremely well laid out, making it very easy for any child to follow. Each recipe follows the same format with a short introduction, life-size photographs of the ingredients, pictures of the cooks tools and finally a step by step What To Do section which takes you through the making process, also with photographs to illustrate each stage.

A very useful cook book for every day cooking, but there are also great ideas for adapting recipes for special occasions, for example, little cakes are turned into funny faces, cakes are turned into an Easter cake and a dinosaur, speedy pizzas are turned into party pizzas etc.

Kid's First Cook Book would be a fantastic introduction to recipe books for a young child working with an adult or for older children to use with more independence. Therefore, this book would be suitable for 4-11 year olds. --Amanda York

A book for all ages
This beautifully presented book can be used with children of all ages, and for many purposes.

I use it as a picture book with my one year old and as a first cookery book for my two year-old's first cookery! My 7 year old nephew practices reading, maths and measuring....and all while having fun!

The life size pictures and step by step instructions are great fun to read and do.

Some recipes are basic and offer the opportunity to build on the basics to make more sophisticated eats for older children. It also makes a lovely present and I would receommend it to anyone who wants to share valuable time having fun with young people.

Fantastic! Real 4-6yr+ old first cookery book.
I recently purchased this and another 'first' cookery book. I have a 4 3/4 yr old and a 6 1/4 yr old and this book is pitched at exactly the right level. It is far more appropriate to this age group than the other one which seems to be aimed at children around about 8 years of age.

Kid's First Cook Book (DK Kids First) is simply explained, clearly illustrated and hits the right interest level. I will be buying this as a gift for anyone we know (between 4 and 8!!!).
