This book ensures kids will be successful in the kitchen, building confidence and pride, while producing tasty treats for the whole family. As a mom of twin 8-year old boys, I highly recommend this book for the junior chefs in your life.”—Lori Kirsten, doctor of physical therapy and mom of 2 aspiring little chefs

“Charity Mathews makes baking with kids a blast for adults and little ones alike. What can often times seem like a daunting, messy task becomes an inspiring, yummy experience where kids take the lead in the kitchen. The results aren't just tasty baked treats, but a new appreciation for their own abilities and the work that goes into cooking food. Cute and cravable photos, easy-to-follow instructions, and brag-worthy results have you wishing for a junior bake in your home every day.”—Andrea Sterling, mom of two kid chefs

“This charming, colorful, made-just-for-kids cookbook is exactly what little foodies need to get started making pies, cakes, muffins, cookies, and more. Author Charity Mathews assumes kids are capable, while also being crystal-clear about when an adult should be summoned, leading to a feeling of empowerment and mastery that will hopefully bleed over into other areas. Moms and dads get to encourage independence—and eat lava cake! Bonus: there's a pep talk for parents at the end to help you through mixing bowl explosions and knife fears.”—Sasha Emmons, editorial director of Today's Parent

“As a busy working mom, I'm constantly trying to find the balance between feeding my twins and dashing out the door to whatever is next on our agenda. Kid Chef Junior Bakes is my secret weapon when trying to prepare a quick, homemade ‘slice of love’ that will keep even my pickiest eater full and satisfied. Charity Mathews has hit another home run with her latest book.”—Leigh Fickling, Type 1 diabetes mom
