The How-To Cookbook for Teens: 100 Easy Recipes to Learn the Basics

This is an amazing cookbook and a must have for new cooking enthusiasts! My 10 year old son has taken up cooking and it’s perfect ! It teaches about knife skills and after every skill/lesson is a recipe. It teaches various skills until you’ve built up to a meal. I loved it so much I ordered one for other family members!

My Son loves this book and uses it often - he has become quite the chef !

Even if the guy is not a teen, this book has non-scary recipes for someone who does not cook. (And otherwise just does ramen, takeout and microwave meals.) In general, none of the recipes are too complex and are things he would actually choose to eat. Excellent starter cookbook.

Cute and simple book for beginners

I thought my teen (almost 15) should learn to do more in the kitchen than microwave (and I’m tired of doing the majority of cooking) so this book went under the Christmas tree for him this year. Was it his favourite gift? Nope. Has he used it? Yes!! My only complaint is it has a lot of cheese bases recipes and my son is not a cheesy kid (which is really annoying because cheese is the BEST). This book was perfect for him as he is a complete novice. It’s not overly complicated. Another great thing about this is (like all recipes) you really have to read the instructions carefully so you don’t miss anything. I’m hoping learning to cook and slowing down when he reads instructions will carry on into his school work (he’s a rusher!). Today he made a lunch recipe from the book “penne with bacon and zucchini” and it was excellent! Only 9 ingredients, most of which we already had in the pantry and very basic and easy to follow instructions. I would recommend this book to anyone just starting out. Great recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert. Nothing fancy and no fancy expensive or ingredients. The book also includes a section on kitchen safety.

This book would be PERFECT any cookbook for that matter if they just had a picture of every dish to have an idea what the end result should look like.

Love this book great starter for kids/teens. I love how the book also has definitions and picture. For example the difference between chop and mince. My kid is enjoying it very much.

I was super excited to give this to a teen who is learning how to cook. There are plenty of recipes and categories but my main complaint with this cookbook is that there are no pictures. None. Other than a picture to tell you which category you’re in. I just find it odd to have a cookbook for teens learning to cook with no pictures. If I would’ve known it didn’t have pictures of the dishes I wouldn’t have purchased.
