Ok, here is something different for my reading to check out. Yes, I know I normally review novels but when given the opportunity to review this cookbook; I thought well, why not? I have a family (husband, 2 small kids) and they have to eat sometime and let’s face it, fast food isn’t always such a good choice! So I was excited to get in this cookbook from Marcus Wynn Group Public Relations. Thank you Mark Sanders!
After seeing the book, I thought it had such a fun cover! This cookbook is aimed at the young crowd who are used to eating fast food and having someone else cook for them. I have to be honest; I’ve never really paid much attention as to who the authors were of cookbooks. Fishbein is a Jewish mother therefore a lot of her recipes are traditional dishes. You will find some here, however, among all these recipes you will also find Mexican, Thai, and some American-style dishes. So you get to change it up and try something different from another part of the world. After browsing this book I saw many yummy recipes I wanted to try.
You will find 100 easy recipes; Large full color photos with each recipe; Amazing party ideas; Handy icon to indicate if the recipe is vegetarian, nut-free, dairy-free or gluten-free. The introduction has a “Getting Started” section with everything you need to know on preparing, setting up and cleaning up your kitchen. She offers us healthy eating tips, essential utensils that you should have in your kitchen, along with menu planning ideas. The book is broken down into several sections and there truly is a recipe for everyone!
Here is a list of the sections you will find: Starters, Munchies, Soups and Salads, Poultry and Meat, Fish Pasta and Dairy, Side Dishes, Desserts, Let’s Party section.
Here are some recipes I tried for myself and OH MY GOODNESS they were so yummy. Even the family liked them!
Turkey Sliders – Chocolate Tart in Pretzel Crust – Peanut Butter and Banana French Toast
Though I haven’t gotten the chance to try everything, here are some recipes I can’t wait to try on the family! Pink-Berry Lemonade, Mushroom-Crusted Roast Beef, Ellie’s Onion-Crusted Chicken, Sticky Orange Herb- Roasted Chicken, Banana Buttermilk Pancakes with Strawberry Sauce, Banana-Pumpkin Cornbread. Tie-Dye Cookies, Easy Fudge, Lemon Crumb Cake…. and this is only about half of what I want to try.
Bottom line: You don’t have to be a teen or even 20-something to try these dishes! Fishbein has the passion and skill to create amazing recipes. Susie Fishbein along with award-winning food photographer John Uher, have created a fantastic cookbook. I’d recommend this book to everyone and can’t wait to share more of these recipes with my friends and family! Teens and 20-Somethings is due out for release on October 26, 2010

I should probably start by saying I'm not Jewish. I can't attest to the "Jewishness" of this kosher cookbook. My knowledge of kosher laws extends to "no pork" and "no meat and dairy togethah". That is all.
But.
But, I like to cook, and I like to be able to cook for all of my friends, and if I'm eating something, I don't care if it's kosher, vegetarian, vegan -- or magical, for that matter -- it just has to taste good. So to all of the other non-Jews out there (Gentiles?) who are wondering why the hell you should spend your time reading this review or picking up this cookbook, let me tell you -- because it's awesome.
This is a really well put-together cookbook with a good diverse mix of recipes (both in content and difficulty). There is a full-color picture of ever single recipe, and I can't stress enough how impressive and important that is. My mouth watered flipping through this book. I tabbed a lot of recipes as to-make, and that's always a good sign when in the market for a cookbook.
The goal of the book, it seems, is to appeal to a younger set, and on that, I think it's fairly successful. I mean, it still may not be the most usable fora college kid in a dorm with only a hot-plate, but the recipes offered are easy to follow, there's a great variety in terms of skill and taste, and there is a section in the back devoted to party planning and bringing it all together. I ♥ this, and I love when cookbooks have this, even if I don't actually need help planning a party or hostessing. Reading through it just gets you in the mood for a little shindig.
The recipe I ended up making was a recipe for scones. It was a pretty standard scone recipe, other than that it had an egg wash rather than a cream wash, which I guess isn't that out of the ordinary. I made it for my bookclub's discussion of Soulless (and another member made treacle tart!) Along with the tea and cocoa I brought, it was kinda perfect, and the scones turned out just as scones should (mine were blueberry). I will be making them again, and trying more of the recipes in this book.
[Note: I received a copy of this for review.]
