I received an email asking me if I would review this cookbook for teens earlier last week. I was a little hesitant because I want this blog to be dedicated solely to young adult. Also I wasn't completely sure what kosher food was since I never had it before. But I figured why not? I'm so glad I agreed to review this!

Okay it's honesty time: I cannot cook. At all. My main dish is cereal and for a fancy cuisine I'll make mac n' cheese. So when I opened Teens & 20 Somethings cookbook I was shocked by how mouth watering the dishes looked. I immediately jumped to the conclusion that I was about to burn the house down in attempts to make my family dinner. Once again, I was wrong.

The directions are clear and simple. There's a list of ingredients, what you'll need to make the meal and step by step instructions. With each recipe there is a picture on the following page so you know what the final product should look like.

In the beginning of the book there is a list of special needs diets; like vegetarian and gluten free just to name a few. There's little symbols to go with each special diet and they're listed on the sides of each page, how cool is that?!

There's eight different sections, three are starters, munchies and my favorite section desserts! At the end there is party ideas for sports or a summer themed get together. I made the Frozen Banana Pops for my family. For the first time in my life they actually liked what I cooked.
