Review
"One of the best ways to have fun and bond with young people is to cook with them as partners. Kids are inherently creative; the smell and taste of the dishes produced will stay with them permanently. In the French Kitchen with Kids, a thorough, well-organized, approachable and friendly cookbook, will take your child on a delectable culinary voyage leading to a lifetime of lasting memories."
--Jacques Pépin "Mardi brings the flavors of France into your home, and makes them fun for the family to prepare together. From Quick Croissants to silky Crème Caramel, In the French Kitchen with Kids brings everyone to the table, in the true French spirit."
--David Lebovitz, author of My Paris Kitchen
"As a French mother of two and a passionate cook, I applaud Mardi's French-inspired approach to inviting kids into the kitchen. Her extensive teaching experience shines through the entire book, and encourages parents everywhere to share their love of simple, homemade foods with their children."
--Clotilde Dusoulier, author of Tasting Paris and the blog Chocolate & Zucchini "I have always marveled at the French talent for educating their children in matters of taste. No age is considered too young to start learning to recognize quality food and to appreciate the pleasures of a shared table. Mardi Michels' inviting new book creates the kind of allure that will excite children about cooking and leave them feeling empowered and proud of their results. A perfect place to set off on a lifetime adventure of good eating."
--Laura Calder, author of French Food at Home and The Inviting Life
"Cooking French food with kids might sound like a recipe for disaster. But with veteran kids cooking teacher Mardi Michels as a guide, your tiny chefs will soon be whipping up everything from poulet rôti to profiteroles! With a clear, concise, and friendly directions, filled with practical advice, and luscious photos, In the French Kitchen with Kids makes French cuisine easy and accessible for all ages."
--Ann Mah, author of Mastering the Art of French Eating and The Lost Vintage
"We love this collection of irresistible recipes and useful kitchen tips. But the real star of the book is Mardi's warm and confident encouragement that kids and parents alike can master delicious French food."
--Laura Keogh and Ceri Marsh, authors of The School Year Survival Cookbook and How to Feed a Family "Mardi Michels's knowledge and dedication to teaching the next generation about the joys of cooking the French classics is obvious, and her fun, thoughtful approach is not only inspiring, it's totally infectious! My family and I can't wait to take her with us on our next kitchen adventure." --Gail Simmons, food critic, TV host and author of Bringing It Home: Favorite Recipes from a Life of Adventurous Eating "Pint-sized cooks will love learning how to make impressive French classics, and Mardi Michels is uniquely qualified to instruct them. . . Michels knows firsthand what kids can cook when given the opportunity. From a classic omelette to croissants and ratatouille three ways (each accommodating different skill levels), In the French Kitchen with Kids is filled with recipes that cooks of all ages will adore." --The National Post

Finally! A kid's cookbook that produces GOOD FOOD!
22 February 2019 -
Published on Amazon.comVerified Purchase
From birth, my 9 year old has always been a reluctant eater. I've bought loads of "kids" cookbooks, in the hopes that getting him involved in the process would make him more likely to eat what he's made. This is the first one that makes REAL food that a person with tastebuds would actually want to eat, with clear step-by-step instructions. So many kids cookbooks have vague, frustrating recipes for "cute" food. I don't care if it's shaped like an animal--if it doesn't taste good, my kid isn't going to eat it. The recipes that my son and I have made from In the French Kitchen with Kids have all turned out great, and most importantly, MY SON ATE THEM and wanted to help cook them. So far, we've made Steak Frites, Pork Chops with Apples, Crunchy Fish Cakes, Rustic Oven-Baked Ratatouille, and Buttery Green Beans with Toasted Almonds. Mardi Michels knows her way around French food, AND knows how to get kids involved in the kitchen. HIGHLY recommend!

My oldest was eight and interested in cooking when we bought Mardi's book and I cannot recommend it enough! We've bumped around sections over the last year as his interests have taken him from baking to entrees to sides and back to baking and have yet to be disappointed in any of the recipes. The roast chicken was a particular favorite of mine and the pâte à choux was by far his (though he preferred it 'regular' vs the mini croquembouche we made for St. Nicholas' Day- "it's too sweet" ha!). It even made its way into some of his school assignments! Highly recommend.

French recipes for kids of ALL ages, along with gorgeous photos and fun anecdotes !
22 September 2018 -
Published on Amazon.comVerified Purchase
Mardi perfectly balances her recipes to ensure the delicious “real food” recipes she shares are attainable for young cooks, while desirable to all palates. Leveraging years as in instructor to boys aged 7-12 (Les Petits Chefs), she knows first hand how much they can accomplish with a bit of guidance and the right recipe. Enlightening to many of us who default to aiming for “kid food” when cooking with our children, I only wish this book was published when my sons were a bit younger. But they are benefiting from it now, and I am learning a trick or two myself ! The anecdotes, personal history and stunning photos (oh those little hands !!) just add to the universal appeal. I’ve used her tip for buying the “petits-beurre” cookie cutters and attached them to copies of the book as a gift !

Something for everyone!

It's so important to think about multi-generational cooking these days, what with the busy world we live in, and this book addresses that need with ease and fun. I love that it's got something for everyone. It's sophisticated enough to keep the attention of an advanced grownup chef, yet so thoroughly explained and broken down, that children will happily cook from it as well.

Great recipes for an aspiring young chef!!!

I’ve followed Mardi for years as she has shared her love of French food with her littles. They’ve had great adventures. Now she is sharing her recipes with this book! I happen to be making her recipe for baguettes right now. Great recipes that will challenge your young chef...and truth be told, will likely become a go-to for adults as well. Her enthusiasm and joy in both the food and the kids make this a great cookbook. I’ll be ordering more at the holidays. Great gift!!
