Pretty straightforward cookbook where kids can learn simple, yet delicious recipes. My favorite thing about the book is the chapter titled "Mains for One." Those of us who live alone or just with a partner know just how hard it is to adapt recipes that are meant for families, but the wraps, bowls, and other recipes on this chapter are perfect for singles or couples to prepare.

Originally published on my blog: Nonstop Reader.
Vegetarian Cookbook for Teens is a beginner friendly cookbook aimed at teens with plant-based recipes. Due out 26th May 2020 from Callisto on their Rockridge Press imprint, it's 245 pages and available in paperback and ebook formats. It's worth noting that the ebook format has a handy interactive table of contents as well as interactive links. I've really become enamored of ebooks with interactive formats lately. For Kindle Unlimited subscribers this book is currently included in the KU subscription library to borrow and read for free.
The introductory chapter is followed by the recipes arranged thematically: breakfasts, soups & salads, snacks & sides, mains for one, meals for friends & family, and desserts. Each of the recipes includes an introductory description (including category info such as nut-free, dairy-free, vegan, etc), ingredients listed in a bullet point sidebar (US measurements only, no metric conversions), and step by step instructions. There is no nutritional info provided. Almost none of the recipes are photographed, but the ones which are, are photographed well and clearly. Serving suggestions are attractive and appropriate. The lack of photography subtracts a fair bit from the overall experience for a beginner cookbook in my opinion. (I like pictures, but realize and accept that they raise the production costs a lot on a book project).
The recipe ingredients themselves are mostly easily sourced and will be available at well stocked grocery stores along with some ingredients being found in international/Asian markets. The book does not include an index or ingredients list, but does have a metric conversion table.
This would be a great selection for folks who like to experiment in the kitchen. The emphasis is on fresh wholesome quality ingredients and simple preparation and presentation. Many of the recipes are easy to double up, making it a good choice for meal-preppers with a little extra effort.
Three and a half stars, worth a look.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.

I was given an opportunity via the publisher to read the Vegetarian Cookbook for Teens: 100 Fun Recipes to Cook Like a Pro. I voluntarily chose to review this cookbook and my opinion is freely given.
The cookbook starts with a great introduction, detailing different cooking techniques and terms. There is a list of essential tools for success, benefits to eating a plant-based diet, and a list of important nutrients to incorporate into the vegetarian diet. Tips and ingredient lists are housed in bright green boxes, for ease of use.
The recipes are divided as follows, along with some of the standout dishes.
Breakfast: Zesty Avocado Toast; Blueberry Banana Protein Pancakes; Sweet & Salty Granola Cups
Soups & Salads: Mexican Aztec Salad; Veggie Forward Tuscan Soup; Lentil Soup
Snacks & Sides: Guacamole; Loaded Cheddar Potatoes; Orange Ginger Broccoli
Mains for One: Avocado Chickpea Pasta Bowl; Easy Cheddar Fettuccine Alfredo; Pizza Skillet
Meals for Friends & Family: Cauliflower Coconut Curry; Quinoa Burrito Bowl Bake; Thai Lettuce Cups; Lentil Veggie Tacos
Desserts: Almond Apple Crisp; Double Chocolate Raspberry Bars
Overall, Vegetarian Cookbook for Teens: 100 Fun Recipes to Cook Like a Pro has some good, easy recipes. Especially as this is a cookbook designed for those just starting to cook, it would have been nice for there to be more photographs of the finished dishes. I would recommend the cookbook to those looking for a good, basic vegetarian cookbook.

Vegetarian Cookbook for Teens is a great resource for teens (and adults) who are interested in learning some easy, vegetarian recipes. It is also very colorful and attractive. It has large photos, and bright colors. In the intro, the author includes helpful sections such as things you may say to people who ask you why you are vegetarian, supplies list, basic cooking terms, and safety tips.
Many of the recipes in here are very easy, basic recipes. I look forward to making some of them myself. All the recipes sound delicious.
I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for healthy, easy recipes- wether they be teen or adult, vegetarian or not. I rarely keep my cookbooks, but I will be keeping this one.

How cute is this cover? The whole book is filled with yummy, colorful pictures like this, and it's a great introduction to how to use a kitchen. I picked this one up because my own cooking skills are that of a young teenager who has never used a kitchen before. There are some excellent tips in here and the whole book is very accessible. Would be a good gift for a teenager who wants to learn to cook.
Thank you very much to Callisto Publishers for providing me with a copy. A review was not required.

I received an advance publishers copy.
In an effort to go meat-free on more meals and increase my kids produce consumption, I selected this Vegetarian Cookbook For Teens as I assumed the recipes with be easy enough that two toddlers could “help” and I wouldn’t burn anything while watching them and the meal. The kids really liked making the egg and vegetable fried rice, and absolutely devoured the sweet potato nachos. It is a good family friendly cookbook that my kids will grow into but allows me to expand their exposure in the interim.
