Hi! Thanks for stopping by. I'm in college and living in the west coast of the USA. For somebody my age, I think I have an unusual amount of life experience. If you ask me for advice, I'll do my best to help.

So i am 17 and i have NEVER actually baked something by myself. When i have to i cook with friends and family, but only really basic stuff like: a cake, cookies, pancakes, etc... But i am really not the talented girl in the kitchen.
Any of you know any good cook books for teens? Any fun tips? Sites? ANYTHING helps, thanks(: (link)

I'm in exactly the same position and have been trying to find resources.
allrecipes.com is one place that's worked well for me. There's a wide range of things. I'd advise going for the really popular basic recipes (for example one of my favourites is Roast Sticky Chicken-Rotisserie Style) and following any highly voted tips. There are some great baking recipes on there too especially for muffins and cakes.
youtube can be helpful for demonstrations on how to cut onions and basic things.
You might want to check out Julia Child or Fanny Farmer books if they're your sort of thing.
Also if anyone in your family is good at cooking, follow them around the kitchen with a notepad and pester them for recipes as they cook things so you can cook them by yourself later.
Hope that helped a bit and good luck!
