The Green Teen Cookbook: Recipes for All Seasons—Written by Teens for Teens

Originally published in the U.K., Marchive and McElroy’s cookbook gives teenage home cooks ideas for every meal of the day, including snacks and desserts, with an eye toward healthy, seasonal options (brief essays explore organic and fair-trade food, vegetarianism, and other topics). The recipes come courtesy of teens from around the world, with offerings that include sancocho, a soup from the Dominican Republic; a “Spanish-style” pasta Bolognese; and seasonal takes on lasagna and pie. Color photos, clear instructions, and quotes from the teens providing the recipes should help bolster the confidence of young cooks. Ages 12–up. (July)
