Whether you're a vegetarian, or even a
cook, Teen Cuisine: New Vegetarian is a book you'll enjoy. What
grabbed me first was the quality of the book and the pictures. This
book could be displayed in your living room. The pictures are so
tempting you find yourself wanting to try the recipes.
I have to admit I'm not much of a cook,
so the recipes laid out in simple steps are perfect for me. They will
also be good for teen cooks, or other novices. Recipes are laid out
in three sections: On Your Mark, Get Set, and Cook. If you follow the
steps exactly as presented, it's hard to make a mistake, and you end
up with gourmet dishes.
The commentary on each recipe is
interesting. I particularly liked the sections on Waldorf Salad and
ketchup. I never actually thought about making ketchup, but the
recipe is so well laid out I plan to try it. Another valuable feature
is the Chef's Tip. The tips give useful information on how long it
will take to prepare the dish, for example should you start some
parts an hour or so before doing the rest of the preparation.
I did try a couple of recipes and can
recommend the red, white and blue cheese potato salad and the smart
bars. Both were delicious. I highly recommend this book for teen
cooks, or anyone else who likes vegetarian food.
I reviewed this book for the Amazon
Vine Program.
