We love to cook together as a family, I especially love getting the kids involved because 9 times out of 10 they will try something that they think they may not like, but we cooked together. Like most of you I search all over Pinterest for kid friendly recipes, but it can be difficult. These three books from Quarto Publishing were written with kids and family time in the kitchen in mind so you know you are not getting too in over your head.
Baking with Kids is the book you need to help your children learn how to bake. Get ready to measure, mix, and decorate! Baking with Kids is just the book you need to help teach children to bake.

Noodle Kids is packed with recipes, tips, suggestions, and inspiration to introduce children to, and get them involved in, making noodles like Japanese ramen, Italian spaghetti, Southeast Asian stir-fries, and classic American mac and cheese. The recipes are simple and will take you on a journey around the world. The tips provided can help you choose the perfect topping and even help you set up your very own noodle bar dinner party! One food that we all love is Pierogi’s, little noodle pockets filled with mashed potatoes and herbs, boiled and then sauteed in a pan with butter until golden brown they are so yummy. I have always had to buy frozen Pierogi’s in the past because I had no idea how to make them but thanks to the Noodle Kids book we made our own and they were just too good for words. The recipe for Pierogi’s is fairly involved and is not something you will just whip up in 30 minutes, but with this book and some time you will have Pierogi’s that beat those frozen things hands down, check out the ones we made below.
Kids Cook French is a fun, interactive cookbook for kids that introduces them to the art and joy of cooking. It gets them interested in making their own meals and better eating habits, while also teaching them the importance of culture. Featuring classic, simple dishes inspired by French cuisine, each recipe is shown in both French and English and accompanied by charming illustrations. With an emphasis on fresh ingredients and hands-on preparation, dishes include traditional starters, main courses, and desserts. Your child’s creativity will be sparked, as will your deeper connection with them–so, get them in that kitchen and start playing chef. We have our eye on a recipe for Sables which are the french version of a sugar cookie, we will be making these soon. Check out QBookShop.com for your next cookbook or favorite read.
