Summary: I love this cookbook! Great for teens and other beginners.
Review: As a young adult librarian, and an amature cook, I have nothing but good things to say about this cookbook. I found it to be well designed, fun to read, and highly informative, but never intimidating. I've been pushing it every chance I get, and plan to buy a copy for my teenage brother...plus as a graduation gift for my cousins. The illustrations are wacky, but not childish. My favorite detail is the collection of icons used to show what catagories recipes fall into. This book is the perfect combination of entertainment and useful information!

Summary: You don't have to been a teen to be clueless. But it helps.
Review: Clueless in the Kitchen is a survival guide for teens (and other beginners) making that first scary solo attempt at real cooking. In addition to 200 easy recipes, the book also contains information on setting up a kitchen, shopping for groceries, and basic kitchen maintenance. The language is straightforward and irreverent and the recipes are detailed and delicious. Very thorough, never condescending or preachy, this is a great first cookbook for a young (or not so young) adult who is ready to move beyond takeout pizza and macaroni-and-cheese-from-a-box.

Summary: For Beginners of All Ages
Review: Even though the book is written for teens, it has been great for me. I'm in my thirties and I hate cooking. I made three of the recipies out of this book already and my husband ate them! I'm so excited because now my husband can wash the pots & pans. Seriously, this book is great because the author takes you through the recipes with easy instructions for extreme beginners like me. In no other cookbook have I found recipes for simple things like meatballs. In the back there is also a section with menu for entertaining. Hooray for Evelyn Raab!

Summary: Great book! Yummy Food.
Review: I bought this book for my teen brother and its really good. This past weekend we made some of the stuff and it acutally turned out right and it tasted really good. Our parents even loved the food. Try the Rotini pasta dish and the Honey Garlic Chicken Wings. Good gift for anyone young or old. Finally now my brother can cook himself, instead of having someone do it for him! Even though there were no pictures the instructions and general book was easy to use. Good tips in this book. This book is Mmmmm good!

Summary: So Much Fun
Review: i bought this cookbook in junior high and i have loved it since. evelyn raab wrote the recipes in a way so that they weren't intimidating for a beginning cook. in fact it's much like receiving advice on cooking from a trusted friend. she wants you to succeed and writes in a way that makes you feel like you really can. it helped me get started with my cooking and four years later i'm still using it regularly. i highly recommend this book whether you're just starting or you've already amassed a large collection of cookbooks. no collection would be truly complete without this one.
