Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I purchased all three of the Boys Can Cook Too cookbooks for my 10 year old nephew for Christmas and was quite disappointed. I had expected pictures or graphics to help him understand the steps he needed to take. I did not expect so much of the content to be puzzles, games, and blank pages for 'notes' and 'my own personal recipes' within cookbooks with less than 100 pages. The recipes had fun names for the most part but several of them required further reading to understand what the end product would actually be.
When I purchased these books, I also purchased three books for my nieces from another author - those included many pictures of the recipe while in process and the finished products so that kids knew what they should be doing and what it should look like as they went step-by-step. I really didn't find any pictures in any of the Boys Can Cook Too cookbooks and that was a big disappointment for the price I paid for each cookbook. Because of the number of pages used for the 'games' within the book, the actual number of recipes was far less than I expected. Some of the recipes had more ingredients and steps than I would have expected for a child or young adult. The glossary of terms was helpful to a learning cook however I also thought more could have been done to make it more interesting. Within the actual recipe, the child is instructed to 'chop' or 'toast' or 'mix' but there is really no explanation of what that means or with what tool. The serving size and nutritional facts was nice but most current cookbooks have this information today.
At Christmas, he was more interested in looking through the cookbooks I bought for my nieces because of the pictures rather than any of the three Boys Can Cook Too! cookbooks. Overall, for the price I paid per cookbook, I think there were other options out there for the price that would have offered a better value and a better solution for a learning cook such as a 10 year old boy.
