Dear Reader,

It sounds dramatic, but it’s true: If you introduce your children to the magic of cooking and baking when they’re young, they’ll be hooked forever—and The Big, Fun Kids Cookbook and The Big, Fun Kids Baking Book from Food Network Magazine are the perfect ways to do that. In these books, kids will find everything they need to succeed as young cooks and have fun while they’re at it.

Try these awesome recipes!

Amazing things happen when kids step into the kitchen...

People often ask me how to get kids interested in cooking, and now I have the perfect answer. The Big, Fun Kids Cookbook and The Big, Fun Kids Baking Book are filled with totally foolproof recipes that anyone can make—all from the trusted chefs in Food Network’s test kitchen.

I’ve been trying to get my own kids to cook with me for years, and now they’re flipping through the pages of these cookbooks, asking me what they can make next. I’m not going to lie—they’re more interested in the fake-out cakes than they are in the healthy snacks and pastas, but that’s OK: They’re learning about measuring and fractions and cooking times, and more than anything, they’re learning to love the process.

We sent sneak-peek copies to some our favorite young chefs, and Food Network star Jeff Mauro’s son, Lorenzo, declared The Big, Fun Kids Cookbook: Best. Cookbook. Ever!

Replace Screen Time with STEAM Time!

My kids are 8 and 11, and left to their own devices—and I mean literally their own electronic devices—they’d spend all of their spare time playing Subway Surfers. Now that I’ve brought home The Big, Fun Kids Cookbook, my younger daughter has started making appetizers for us every night.  And like many of us during pandemic, my older daughter has been baking up a storm from The Big, Fun Kids Baking Book. Both books are perfect for young chefs. The recipes are simple to follow and totally foolproof, and each one comes with a photo.

Our main goal with The Big, Fun Kids Cookbook and The Big, Fun Baking Book is to get kids into the kitchen so they fall in love with cooking and baking. Everything else will follow!
