BOSTON, March 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- America's Test Kitchen Kids, one of the most trusted and inspiring cooking brands for kids, announced today the publication of its fourth cookbook, titled My First Cookbook. After over 500,000 total copies sold of their first two New York Times bestselling cookbooks for ages 8 to 13—The Complete Cookbook for Young Chefs and The Complete Baking Book for Young Chefs—America's Test Kitchen Kids will introduce kids ages 5 to 8 to the first quality, rigorously tested cookbook specifically for their age range. My First Cookbook features 60 recipes that will help build important life skills—including cooking, math and science—and encourage creativity and family time in the kitchen.

Every recipe in My First Cookbook was selected for maximum kid participation—along with grownup supervision. Each recipe has a beautiful styled food shot, plus a photograph for every single recipe step, making it super easy for kids of all reading-abilities to follow along. Equipment and ingredient lists are clearly marked to help kids prepare before they start cooking, and they are greeted throughout the cookbook by a cute and engaging illustrated character – a whisk – who shares fun facts and tips.

"We designed My First Cookbook for kids and their grownups to have fun spending quality time together away from screens," said Molly Birnbaum, Editor in Chief at America's Test Kitchen Kids. "This cookbook allows kids to learn about food and science with the added bonus of tasty results they can be proud of. We included as much mixing, rolling, scrunching, smashing and squishing as possible to keep kids engaged and excited for each dish that they cook!"

As with all recipes published by America's Test Kitchen Kids, every recipe included in My First Cookbook was vetted by thousands of kid testers and is kid approved. My First Cookbook recipes include after school snacks, such as Frozen Banana Bites and Cheesy Zucchini Crisps, family meals, like Cheese Pupusas and Rice Noodle Bowls, and sweet treats, such as Chocolate Dipped Pretzels and Mango Lassi Pops. My First Cookbook is available for purchase on the ATK Shop.
