Dynamite Kids Cooking School: Delicious Recipes That Teach All the Skills You Need, by Dana Bowen and Sara Kate Gillingham, is full of delicious recipes and lessons from The Dynamite Shop, the premier cooking school for young cooks. The Dynamite Shop is where kids from 7 to 17 have a blast learning fundamental cooking skills that they carry into their home kitchens and real life.

This cookbook perfectly captures this winning formula with recipes from simple quesadillas filled with sautéed greens, a hearty lasagna, and a classic layer cake to exciting dishes like a quick, summery mac and cheese made with a light ricotta sauce, a puffy Dutch Baby pancake, and gingery pork or vegetarian Cantonese-style dumplings.
