The Complete DIY Cookbook for Young Chefs
The ultimate do-it-yourself cookbook for kids. Don’t buy it at the store. Make it yourself!
Cooking is cool. Baking is awesome. But this book brings something even better to the table: recipes to make your favorite store-bought items–from ketchup to sprinkles to pancake mix–FROM SCRATCH! These recipes are perfect for everything from a weekend project with your family to an after-school snack to homemade gifts for the holidays.
This book, like our first two books for kids ages 8 to 13–The Complete Cookbook for Young Chefs and The Complete Baking Book for Young Chefs (both New York Times bestsellers!)–is kid tested and kid approved.
Some of the recipes you'll find inside:


Ketchup
This recipe takes everything we love about this condiment and gets there with fresh tomatoes and traditional flavorings such as vinegar, garlic, brown sugar, and allspice.


Cheddar Fish Crackers
These homemade DIY goldfish crackers are just as fun to eat as the ones you buy from the grocery store! A food processor helps this dough come together before kids cut out the fish shapes.


Pop Tarts
These homemade Pop Tarts are so much better than the store-bought kind! They’re filled with strawberry jam and can be finished with a simple icing.


Pancake Mix
Whip up a big batch of this make-ahead mix and kids will be minutes away from fluffy pancakes, any time they want them!
Editorial Reviews
"The third book in the America’s Test Kitchen Kids series teaches kids (and parents!) how to make their favorite store-bought foods at home. There’s even a section on making mixes (pancake mix, macaroni and cheese mix, sugar cookie mix) if your people prefer to cook from a box. Like other America’s Test Kitchen books, the recipes are meticulously written and the steps are precisely photographed. Buy this for: anyone who is stuck at home with wee ones."
