Mark Bittman's first cookbook for kids is here! His newest in the beloved How to Cook Everything series focuses on empowering children with all the kitchen skills they need to choose, prepare, and cook the foods they like with the people they love.

Mark Bittman inspires kids to be more adventurous eaters by teaching them first how to identify and cook their favorite foods, then build from there. With flexible recipes designed for all the ways kids approach meals and snacks, How to Cook Everything Kids promises to turn the kitchen into a place of joy and discovery. The detailed recipe directions and fun features for key ingredients, techniques, and basics are all written specifically with little hands in mind, while Bittman covers navigating your kitchen, what different tools do, and preparing and measuring ingredients. These tools help kids ages 8 to 12 (give or take) develop confidence and independence in the kitchen so they learn when to lean on adults, and how to make their own simple swaps and variations. The result is a cookbook that can be customized for every individual child.

How to Cook Everything Kids includes:

  • Chapters covering every meal and food group: Breakfast Any Time; Flavor Bursts (sauces); Hold On! (sandwiches and other finger foods); Sips and Spoonfuls (soups); Edible Colors (a vegetable primer with flexible recipes for all the basic techniques); Pasta and Noodles; Grains and Beans; The Big Stuff (satisfying mains); Now Bake Something; and Sweets.
  • Make Friends with Your Kitchen, an expanded opening chapter designed to familiarize kids with their equipment and ingredients, and all the cooking words they need to know.
  • Visual guides from photography and cartoons to snapshots of everyday kids cooking Bittman's recipes in their kitchens encourage the next generation of home cooks to explore and create.
  • Recipes for every skill level: Bittman covers everything from kid go-to's like Scrambled Eggs, Quesadillas, and Popcorn in a Pot, into more complex dishes like Roasted Veggies, Chicken Mark Nuggets, and Banana Bread. Features on skills like frosting a cake, building a grain bowl, and making an epic sandwich teach kids how to try even more as their knowledge and skills grow.

  • How to Cook Everything Kids is a perfect introduction for kids looking to get into the kitchen and start cooking.

        Bittman, author of more than 30 acclaimed books, including the popular "How To Cook..." series, offers his first volume focusing on young people. The cookbook takes a comprehensive approach to introduce culinary basics to youth suggested as eight years old and up. Readers are introduced to kitchen equipment, pantry items, and cooking terms in easy-to-understand language that encourages experimentation and a focus on personal favorites and taste. There are frequent reminders to enlist the help and partnership of an adult to explore and learn. Each section is broken down to explain ingredients, steps, and variations that speak directly to younger palates, such as a section on sauces both sweet and savory that can enhance recipes throughout the book. From morning to evening and snacking in between, all is covered and highlighted with fun illustrations and photographs of young chefs in action making stunning food. Each recipe is introduced with a quick description and indicator of ease. A special section discusses types of vegetables and their uses, enticing young people to explore, taste, and prepare in fun and delicious ways. VERDICT A solid entry that encourages parents to introduce all things food and kitchens to young people at all levels of skill and interest.--Ron Block
