A Teen Guide to Breakfast on the Go A Teen Guide to Creative, Delightful Dinners A Teen Guide to Fast, Delicious Lunches A Teen Guide to Quick, Healthy Snacks

Gr 6—8—Quick overviews about produce, packaged foods, organics, and kitchen and food safety set the tone for the rest of the content, which encourages kids to hit the kitchen and helps them to make good nutritional choices. The recipes that follow adhere nicely to each theme. They include chocolate cookies made with tofu in Healthy Snacks and a full-course, easily accomplishable Italian meal (antipasto skewers, garlic bread nachos, tomato sauce, lasagna, pizelles) in Delightful Dinners. Suggestions for vegetarian options, prep time, and substitute ingredients pop up periodically, either on the recipe page or superimposed upon the close-up photograph of the dish. These full-page color photographs make even a simple rice cake topped with cheese and a few apple slices look delectable. Although some of the pictures feature high-school age kids, the writing (e.g., calling ingredients "Food Stuff" or defining the word "soak" in the glossary) makes the series more appropriate for younger teens.
