Trade Review

"With colorful illustrations, the book tackles oddball cooking questions... Ensuring its place on many a holiday gift guide for the precocious young foodie set."—Eater

"Inspire a passion for cooking with food writer Joshua David Stein. Take you little one through the series of practical and playful Q&As on food preparation... and have a giggle at Julia Rothman's amusing hand-drawn illustrations."—Little London

"Delightful... Large, friendly writing illustrated with homely, jolly drawings... Introduces [children] to the world of food in a simple, fun way, and to get them engaged in food as a wider topic to be explored. One page even gives three different countries' names for dumplings, introducing children to the concept that food is something that unites cultures... A definite bonus is that there is also the opportunity to talk about who gets to do the washing up, too, and it's never too early to start with that!" —Optimum Nutrition

"A refreshing addition to the children's cooking category... Playfully worded... Achieves a balance between silly and serious."—Early Years Childcare Magazine

Covering everything from ingredients to cooking techniques, What's Cooking? is a unique children's book for the budding foodie in your life... Full of interesting word play by author and food critic Joshua David Stein, and vibrant illustrations from Julia Rothman... A unique piece of literature that will keep little ones interested."—Cooking Light Online
