The Best Food & Cooking Books for Kids
This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy.
Do you have a young foodie in your house? My youngest son is an aspiring chef and absolutely LOVES all things food and cooking related. He enjoys taking cooking classes and browsing kitchen stores, as well as watching cooking shows and collecting recipes. It’s so fun to watch his passion for the art and science of cooking. Of course, many of his favorite books are related to this hobby of his!
We are sharing our favorite food and cooking related books with you and hope you’ll give us some suggestions for any we might have missed. You are invited to leave your own links in the linky widget below so we can check out your posts, too. If you have any ‘cooking with kids’ related articles, please share them–but any family friendly links are welcome.
Happy Reading!

Smiled and smiled when I saw Frances’s furry face in the line up! This is just such a great place!
Thanks so much, Michele. 🙂
I love this list of books and just realized that I totally linked up 3 posts and didn’t include one I’d written on this very subject, so hopefully I can figure out how to go back and switch one out…
Just add one more, Lisa! 🙂
