Editorial Reviews
“This book makes baking accessible . . . an inclusive and welcoming text for young chefs.”
-Booklist
“A must-have book to keep your young adult cookbook section up-to-date and to support the current trend of creative young bakers. A contemporary and educational cookbook that’s once again kid-tested and kid-approved.”
–School Library Journal
“Like its predecessor, 2018’s The Complete Cookbook for Young Chefs, this title is backed up by ATK’s trademark rigor. More than 4,000 kids tested recipes for simple treats, such as muffins, and more elegant fare, including a tahini-banana snack cake. The book’s glossary explains what it calls ‘bakespeak,’ and illustrated guides demystify baking gear and methods.”
