Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Good for adults too!Admittedly I have not tried the recipes yet, but just the introduction made me glad I purchased this book. It explained EVERYTHING about cooking that you could possibly ask, and it's written for children so even I can understand it. It's not for small children though. I'm guessing the age group would be right around puberty, the tweener stage. When my son gets older, I feel certain he will enjoy this book. Rating:  - Real food for real kids!Too bad whoever wrote the School Library Journal knows so very little about cooking, nutrition & the "childhood obesity crisis." They have done Emeril's There's a Chef in My World!: Recipes That Take You Places a huge disservice. I've been cooking, collecting cookbooks and teaching kids to cook about as long as Emeril has been alive. This particular book is one of the best childrens' cookbooks I've seen - ever. Emeril has produced a marvelous book. Many of the recipes he gives are for dishes that have been commonplace favorites in our kitchen for decades. This is real food that real children like to eat. None of it is hard to make, no recipe requires impossible to find ingredients and, most importantly, you won't find a single recipe that utilizes a "mix" of any kind. All real food. (The closest Emeril comes to a "mix" is the recommendation for the use of refrigerated biscuit dough as a time-saver when making empanadas and the use of cream-filled chocolate cookies as part of a pie crust.) Emeril presents a very well balanced selection of recipes that are heavy on the use of fruits & vegetables and easy on the sugar. The recipes are nicely laid out with detailed instructions that are easy to follow. The larger format makes the book easy to read & use. He is careful to explain terms like "saute" within the text itself and often gives anecdotes or serving tips about the various recipes. The text is engaging and sounds just like Emeril himself. Those who like to watch Emeril on TV (more than a few kids do!) will find this book a very comfortable read. Some reviewers have commented on the various graphics included in the book. Some don't like Emeril's picture, others don't like the line drawings. These might not be appropriate in a book intended for adults - but this one is for kids. Children like Emeril, they like bright colors, pictures & yes - even line drawings. That said, this is not a book for a 7 year old cook. This is for the 9 and over crowd, those that have acquired at least a few cooking skills. For that matter, this is a book that is perfectly suitable even for an adult just beginning to explore the food world. This is not a book of "recipes" that no self-respecting adult would touch, nor is it a book that dumbs down material so it is "kid friendly." Real recipes that use real food that real kids (and grownups too) like to eat & cook! Rating:  - Not as good as the first kids book....My kids love to pick out recipes and I like to try new things. This Emeril book is good, just not as great as the first- if you like Emeril, I am sure you will like it. Rating: - great for mom and teenager fun We both enjoy reading about the recipes from around the world. This is the first cookbook my teenager has really gotten excited about. We've only tried two recipes so far, both good, and we both cook together. Fun and yummy together time in the kitchen.
