Book Reviews of Williams Sonoma Kids Baking
Book Review: Great for a Mom who cannot cook
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book after looking through lots of other books because I have always liked the idea of baking but have always been really bad at it but my daughter really was intrested in cooking with me, so I needed a book that that was for beginners and showed and explained exactly how to do everything with good pictures... I bought the book about 2 weeks ago and so far we have made the coconut cupcakes and the peanut butter kiss recipes, not only have we not killed the rest of the family but everyone has been amazed how good they taste. Only down side and this is more our fault that anything, is that if you don't have the staples of cooking (which we didn't) buying all the ingrediants can be a little expensive, I definetly think that buying regular cupcakes in the supermarket is going to be cheaper however I've never tasted such great cupcakes in my life before, I will definetly be redoing that recipe. I plan on making every recipe in the book, it's great bonding time with my daughter and I'm learing how to cook too...Book Review: Worth the price simply for that pretzel recipe!
Summary: 4 Stars
This cookbook is great for kids, and encourages them to work with their parents. The pictures give a good idea of what baker should be doing. However, when we try any recipes from the bread section, their pictures of dough never match ours. The pretzel recipe was to DIE FOR! I think I ate 4 of them. They taste just like the ones sold at the mall! The pizza dough recipe wasn't bad either. The butter milk biscuts turned out light and fluffy. We haven't made all the recipes yet, but so far the only flop we've had was the braided egg bread. I'm the mom here and I was having serious issues with that recipe. We ended up throwing away the dough and if I remember correctly, eating a box of oreos instade. But this book is worth it for that pretzel recipe alone.Book Review: Love it! Love it! oh- and the kids do too!
Summary: 5 Stars
I traveled to a few different stores to puruse their cookbooks for kids. My children (3 & 5) love to cook and bake with me, and I was looking for a book with good pictures/illustrations, and recipes that were easy to make with them, but also good to eat. This one, found in a kitchen store, fit the bill. The pictures are lucious and plentiful and I can easily invite the children to pick a recipe by looking through the cookbook themselves at the pictures. The recipes are well written, and have render so far great results. I really like how that offer up a list of all items needed at the begining of each recipe. Great book for anyone wanting to bake with their young children or want to give a book to an older child ready to try on their own.Book Review: Written for kids, on their level, for their enjoyment
Summary: 5 Stars
Not your average cookbook for children, Williams-Sonoma Kids Baking provides a basic course in baking written just for kids. The instructions are written at a child's reading level and include how to measure ingredients, correctly break eggs, beating ingredients, testing for doneness, etc. Even all the photographs are children doing the tasks.
The recipes were obviously chosen to be ones that children like to eat and include cookies, breads, pretzels, pizza, pies, and cake. Williams-Sonoma Kid's Baking is a great introduction to cooking that children can read their self and is highly recommended.
Book Review: Great product with easy recipes kids want to cook.
Summary: 5 Stars
My 12 yr old daughter received this cookbook for Christmas since she has shown an interest in baking. This book is perfect for the baker her age. There are great visual aids and verbal descriptions for understanding cooking processes. The recipes are good too. She can make these recipes with very little help (if any) from me. At first I thought it might be a little junvenile for her. I was wrong. I only wish there was a section on cleaning the dishes after she is done. :)
