Overall they explain basics of baking well. I did't like how the author made cooking sound super easy, and baking hard.... I also wish they had included a photo of the finished product or of the process. The recipes were ok, but I think they could have included more unique recipes. Good for brand new bakers. I guess I am little more advanced then who the book is for.

*The Baking Cookbook for Teens* is a wonderful introduction to baking for young cooks who want to learn, experiment, and create delicious treats. I really enjoyed the variety of sweet and savory recipes, which keeps the book interesting and gives teen bakers plenty of options to try.
The recipes are presented in a straightforward, approachable way, making them easy to follow even for someone who is still developing confidence in the kitchen. I also appreciated that the book encourages hands-on learning rather than making baking feel complicated or intimidating.
From satisfying sweet treats to savory creations, the recipes provide a nice balance and make this more than just a dessert cookbook. It feels like a useful guide for teens who want to develop practical baking skills while having fun in the process.
Overall, this is a cheerful, accessible, and encouraging cookbook that would make a great addition to a young baker’s collection. It’s especially suitable for beginners and anyone looking for simple recipes they can confidently make and share with family and friends.

This cookbook is a fantastic choice for teens who want to learn baking without feeling overwhelmed. The recipes are approachable, clearly explained, and offer a wonderful mix of sweet and savory treats. I especially appreciate how the instructions make each recipe feel manageable while still encouraging creativity in the kitchen. There is plenty of variety, so it is easy to find something for breakfast, snacks, desserts, or sharing with family and friends. The recipes are also great for building confidence with basic baking techniques and ingredients. Overall, this is a fun, practical, and inspiring cookbook that makes baking feel enjoyable and achievable for young cooks. Five stars!

Some good ideas and recipes but...
...pictures of finished dishes and some of them actually being assembled for learners are always very helpful and appreciated. Also less emphasis on food processors when a large bowl, strong spoon or spatula, and old fashioned elbow grease got the job done for centuries past. Potato mashers are good for mashing more than potatoes, for example. The kids can learn a lot of creativity is already available to them without the modern, newfangled tools their parents may not be able to afford or have room for in their kitchen!

I am writing this review for my thirteen year old daughter. She received a complimentary copy from Callisto publishing company. The cookbook had easy to follow instructions and most of the ingredients are ones you have at home. I have tried almost half the recipes in the book and so far my favourites include strawberry shortcake in a jar, giant soft pretzels, and mashed potatoe beef casserole. The only thing I would change about the cookbook is to include more finished recipe pictures.

A missed opportunity not having a picture of every recipe to show kids what the end result should be in a cookbook that does an excellent job explaining basics at the beginning.

It is a great place to start for a teen new to the kitchen....minus the fact there aren't pictures of the finished product. Based on that fact alone, I know it would never get used in my kitchen. 😔
