Review:As soon as the reader opens Eat Fresh Food: Awesome Recipes for Teen Chefs it is clear that this book is made for teens. The first few images feature teens in kitchens and in various cooking situations having fun and enjoying working together. The cookbook is loaded with color images and text to keep the reader engaged and excited about cooking. The recipes range from simple to fairly complex and can have as few as two ingredients or as many as 15 ingredients. The recipe itself is numbered very clearly and is written in some very clear terms, but some do you use culinary terms that may not be known by teenagers. The recipes look healthy and delicious and it is clear this book is meant to be enjoyed by teens creating culinary delights together.
Opinion: The images and designs in this cookbook make it fun and really conveys the idea of a fun and active cooking experience. I like that it encourages healthy, yet delicious eating for teenagers. This does not feel like an introductory cookbook, but better for teens that have had some cooking experience. There are culinary terms that may be unclear and that could have been easily solved with a glossary which this book is lacking. Overall, I think this is a great book for teens that have cooking experience and want to expand their culinary abilities.
Ideas: This would be a great addition to a unit in health education class or cooking class. The perfect complement to this book is education explaining why these recipes and the foods included are healthy.
