10th Anniversary of Cooking Class!

Deanna Cook

I can’t believe it’s been 10 years since I first published Cooking Class! At the time, I wrote the book because my girls were teenagers and I wanted to be sure they knew some basic recipes before they left home. It worked—they are good cooks now—and my book inspired thousands of kids to get into the kitchen and cook. It sold over 400,000 copies and was a big hit back in the day!

In the 10th anniversary edition of the book, we added more recipes, refreshed the design, and kept all the fun stickers and extras in the back of the book. It is a fantastic collection of easy step by step recipes that are fun to cook and eat. I’m excited to inspire the next generation of kids to get into the kitchen and cook!
