One of the Best February 28, 2008
Format:Paperback
Teens Cook Dessert is one of the best cook books out there! I'm a teen myself (16 years old) and have read countless recipes and more cook books than I can count on both hands. This cook book is concise in its instructions, accurate in its baking times and pan sizes, has an amazingly wide range of delicious recipes of various difficulty, and includes helpful tips and fun facts scattered throughout. The one and only thing that I would include in this book is preparation times for the recipes (its rather annoying to begin a pudding and later realize halfway through that its going to take 5 hours to finish...). This book is appropriate for both the beginner and the seasoned kitchen veteran.

Teens cook dessert January 6, 2008
Format:Paperback
Gave this book to my 11 year old... great to have fresh baked goodies these past few weeks!
Wonderful book design, my daughter loves the funky "messy kitchen" images.
In one recipe my daughter and her friend did not understand clearly that they should mix the flour AND baking soda together first. They added the flour and after mixing with the wet ingredients added the soda. Some advanced baking knowledge and experience is needed.

I bought this book (along with Teens Cook) as a gift for my two teenage cousins. Before wrapping the books, though, I spent some time looking through them. If the books had been around when I was a teen, I would have loved to have had them. As it is, I still may buy them for myself!

The book is filled with recipes that teens and young adults would actually want to eat, which is better than a lot of standard cookbooks. The pictures are great because they show every recipe.

I also enjoyed the casual tone of the book, since it is also written by teens, it is not condescending towards them. I look forward to more cookbooks from these two young women.
