After years of teaching kids to cook in our
Brooklyn kitchen and our celebrated online classes, we’ve finally compiled our best lessons and
recipes into a guide for budding cooks.
Dip into it to practice essential skills, like knife work or baking cakes, or cook through it from cover to cover for the full-on Dynamite Shop cooking school experience. Featuring more than 115 recipes for every meal of the day (including snacks, desserts and drinks), each kid-tested and approved dish calls out the essential takeaways each recipe imparts. From dumplings to quesadillas, pot pie to shepherd’s pie, pizza to fresh pasta and more, Dynamite Kids Cooking School (Clarkson Potter, 2022) is packed with recipes kids will want to make – and eat!
Whether you’re just beginning to cook or you’re ready to tackle anything in the kitchen, this cookbook will empower and engage you to make a lifetime of great meals – and leave you with lessons you’ll carry into your home kitchens and real life.
