Nancy Polanco How-To Cookbooks for Kids #ourgoodlifebooklist

October is National Cookbook Month, and I am so excited about it that I have published two posts about it today! For this post, I am sharing a darling cookbook called How-To Cookbook for Kids.  I got my first cookbook from my Grandmother in the 60s and I still have it and it is my most precious book.  I think any child would love to have this cookbook for their very own!

My Take

I received an advanced copy of the book with no obligation to write a review of any kind.  I just enjoyed it so much and felt like many of my readers would love to gift this book at Christmas. The book is well-organized with bright and colorful photos.  The first few chapters are dedicated to the basics of cooking and how to prepare for cooking. These chapters are so important for successful cooking!  After that, there are darling chapters for each meal, plus the kid's favorites of desserts and snacks.  The colorful photos make the food look delicious.  The steps are easy to follow but a bit wordy for younger cooks, so they made need parent guidance during the reading of the recipes.  Of course, parent guidance during the cooking process is a must!

I highly recommend this delightful book for your children who have shown an interest in cooking already. They will be so excited to get their own cookbook with recipes just for them!
