70 Recipes That Kids Can Make

Working side by side, this mother-daughter duo is on a mission to teach kids how to cook real food they’ll love to eat, from an Epic Ham and Cheese Toastie (complete with cheese pull!) to their Kinda Famous Chicken Curry that they can make for the whole family.

In the 70 tried-and-tested recipes in Now You're Cooking!, including the clever tips and tricks they’ve learned over the years, Jolene and Lils write directly for kids, giving them the skills and confidence to learn that cooking is something anyone can do at any age.
