Editorial Reviews

Gr 8 Up—With an emphasis on fresh, healthy, and made-from-scratch dishes, this title offers up a wide array of recipes from breakfast to dessert and everything in between, illustrated with fantastic photography. The recipes are all formatted in steps titled "On your mark…Get set…Cook!" The chapter headings are all show-business related—"Star-studded Salads and Dressings," "Red Carpet Desserts"—but it isn't clear why. Also, several recipes call for other recipes to be made first: the hummus calls for "sesame sauce" that is featured on another page and the mashed potatoes call for roasted garlic butter, which also appears on another page. Most teens don't want a three-page recipe for burgers. Better choices include Rozanne Gold's Eat Fresh Food: Awesome Recipes for Teen Chefs (Bloomsbury, 2009) and Megan, Jill & Judi Carle's Teens Cook: How to Cook What You Want to Eat (Ten Speed, 2004).—Genevieve Gallagher, Charlottesville High School, VA
