Cooking Up a Storm by Sam Stern.

This cookbook written by a British teen is getting a lot of media attention in the U.S. right now.  The book is full of easy recipes that will pull teens in but also has some more complicated recipes for teens to stretch their culinary skills.  All of the ideas are appealing as are the photographs of the food.  Adding to the appeal are the photographs of Sam with his family doing perfectly normal things like munching while playing video games.  This is a successful, teen-friendly cookbook that is low-key and not intimidating at all. 

Get this one while it is hot!  Stern has a new book coming out in the next few months as well.  Oh, and adults as well will enjoy the recipes.  I am hoping to make the delectable-looking Lemon Souffle Cream Pudding for my family this weekend.  Yum!
