Taking a holistic approach to loving, accepting, and nurturing oneself, this vibrantly illustrated cookbook offers healthy tips for both the mind and body. Rather than pushing teens to diet, this... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I just love this book, as well as all the other Girlosophy books I've had the chance to read. In the usual fashion, lots of gorgeous photos and inspirational content is included. The smoothie/juice recipes are delicious, but everything else is a bit too complicated for my unskilled self. I'd be all about the recipes otherwise!
Teaching young girls to prepare healthy food
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
My 12 year old daughter has checked this book out of the library, renewed it and checked it out again and again. The first time she brought it home, she was so excited about cooking dinner for the family, without having cooked much before. She asked me a few questions, but for the most part, she did it all by herself, and it was delicious. As the author of books on Healthy Eating and Food Additives, I was very pleased to see that the recipes are generally healthy and recommend using organic and other healthy ingredients. Although it is not laid out like a typical recipe book and it can be difficult, for my mature eyes, to read the white and colored print (this is the only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5), my daughter seems to have no problem with it. She loves the book. She's got a birthday coming up this month and she doesn't know it yet, but she won't have to be checking it out of the library any more. I think this is an outstanding book to get young girls interested in cooking healthy food. And unlike other recipe books on the market targeted to young girls, that claim to have healthy recipes, this one really does!
Excellent format for delivering interesting and useful information

I recently stumbled upon the girlosophy series and have loved every edition. This addition is wonderful. It offers healthy and interesting recipes, with a cultural and connecting component to the contributors. I have used it as a tool in running girls groups at my place of employment. I recommend this book to others who are into healthy living and are a teacher, mother, counselor, sister or friend of any woman.
