David Atherton’s Baking Book for Kids is the baker’s third cookbook for kids — Bake, Make and Learn to Cook and Bake, Make, And Learn to Cook Vegetarian: Healthy and Green Recipes for Young Cooks — and just like its predecessors, this one is great!
The best thing about David Atherton’s Baking Book for Kids is just how simple and accessible Atherton has made his recipes. There aren’t a ton of ingredients and the instructions are illustrated step-by-step, helping bakers see exactly what they should be doing when. Younger bakers will still need some guidance, but I was able to hand the book to my 9-year-old, and she was able to do it pretty much on her own.
David Atherton’s Baking Book for Kids is one of the best cookbooks I’ve seen for kids. It’s a great option for families and for fans of Junior Bake-off
