Whether you’re already a confident cook or just getting started, you’ll find dishes that feel doable and taste like something you actually want to eat.Inside, you’ll find cozy comfort foods, creative spins on classic favorites, and showstopper meals worthy of sharing with friends and family. From good eats that won’t bore you to sweets you’ll crave on repeat, each recipe reflects the duo’s belief that vegetarian meals should be as exciting as they are nourishing.More than just a cookbook, 18 Sweets and Good Eats celebrates teen creativity, collaboration, and confidence in the kitchen. With personal stories, playful energy, and a shared love of good food, Luna and Jake invite you to join them—because anyone can cook something amazing, especially when it’s made together.
