What type of recipes should i include in a cook book geared toward teens?

I'm going to write a cook book for teens but I need ideas of what sort of recipes I need. So could you make a list of different foods for me to include?What type of recipes should i include in a cook book geared toward teens?
The teen cookbook is a great idea! I wish I would have gotten into cooking at a much more younger age, I love to be in the kitchen!





I came across a great variety of recipes at the below link. It appears Frigidaire is building a recipe section on their site and they've recently been adding more and more recipes by the week. You may find ideas on there that will inspire you for recipes to include in your teen cookbook.

Hope this helps and best of luck with the book!What type of recipes should i include in a cook book geared toward teens?
Nothing too complicated -- just simple ingredients (8 or less), and easy directions. Nachos, mini-pizzas, and sandwich recipes (Cuban, Reuben, etc.) sound good. Pasta recipes are also great -- spaghetti, fettuccine; Caesar salads to go along with that meal. Desserts are also important -- rice crispies, mini-cheesecakes, ice-cream sandwiches. (Wow...I'm getting hungry just listing this stuff!)





Microwave recipes are also a good idea.
Fast, Easy. Also think about what some of the most common items are in any kitchen, also remember to think of how can I or the teens dress up a box dinner, mac and cheese , dessert, etc...
there are many 'kids cooking' web sites you could use for ideas


I have only one grand daughter that is even interested and One that is in the army as a cook

hamburgers, hot dogs, pizza, tacos/Mexican food, salads for the health conscious teens. If it's found in a mall food court, it should be in the book :) lol
Stuff that is simple, and stuff they can make for there friends for sleepovers, parties etc. Many teens are also more health concious these days so maybe some healthier but still appetizing recipes.
How about some classic foods that they may not have learnt how to cook yet?
