4.0 out of 5 stars Teens cook dessert, January 6, 2008

By	Janet T. (Cambridge, MA) - See all my reviews

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Teens Cook, November 3, 2006

By	M. Pfaffinger - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I sent the two books to my granddaughter and she is thrilled with them. She has moved into her own apt. and is learning to cook. These are easy to read and fun.

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.
