cookbook recommendation for young teen

[PurplePillowCase]

is already a keep and very good baker.
want to steer away from treats towards food...

so I'm looking for something not too babyish but also not too complicated (and expensive).

[IamHappy1976]

I didn't start cooking until I moved into non catering university accomodation. I'd thoroughly recommend taking a look at student cook books online. Usually cheap and cheerful and explain techniques etc.

This cookbook is especially for teens www.whsmith.co.uk/products/cookbook-for-teens-the-easy-teen-cookbook-with-74-fun--delicious-recipes-to-try/9781623153618

But if you don't want the 'teen' label on it, try Elly Pear's Let's Eat www.whsmith.co.uk/products/elly-pears-lets-eat-simple-delicious-food-for-everyone-every-day/9780008219512

I think you'll also like the look of these two:

Delia's How To Cook series are excellent.

[Allthebestnamesareused]

I second the Delia books !

[Tigerpaws57]

My daughter (who never cooked) took Jamie Oliver's Ministry of Food to university with her and has used it non-stop.

Tom Daley's one?

[OliviaStabler]

Do they want a career in food?

[PurplePillowCase]

thanks a lot. will browse and have a closer look at these.

career - dc is still to young, I think. but I want to channel their interest into more useful skills.

[OliviaStabler]

I agree about the Delia How To Cook books.

If your DC become really serious about food, I would recommend Michel Roux Jnr's The French Kitchen.

Sam Sterns are good

[WinnerWinnerChickenDinner0]

Donal Skeehan is fantastic
He is really young, very into Youtube, blogging etc.
Quick easy but interesting recipes

[Orangeplastic]

My teens tend to use the internet more than cookbooks - we have the Sam Stern book but it gets very little use.

[Doobydoo]

The NOSH books seem good. My son at uni has actually made stuff from it! They do a whole range.
