The Teen Kitchen: Recipes We Love to Cook

A playful and engaging cookbook, written by teenage media stars The Kitchen Twins, with more than 75 accessible, fun, and delicious recipes for everyday cooking. Lyla and Emily Allen may not be in high school yet, but they know their way around the kitchen. They've been cooking for years (at home and on The Rachael Ray Show) but they know that many kids their age haven't, so they quickly put beginners at ease with friendly advice, confidence-building pep talks, and step-by-step directions. They also introduce kids to the basic tools a young chef needs, telling them how to stay safe in the kitchen and outlining techniques ranging from knife cuts to mise en place. In short, there's something for everyone, from beginners to budding pros. With more than 75 recipes to choose from--including entrees, sides, school lunches, smoothies, snacks, and desserts--kids will have the chance to try dozens of new foods and master a wide range of cooking skills. As a bonus, all of the recipes include gluten-free options--so kids who don't eat gluten will be delighted that they can enjoy every offering!
