The cookbook invites cooks, both professional and amateur to join Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo on a cheesy adventure with recipes taken "straight out of the sewers and right into the kitchen." The cookbook features all the turtle teens favorite pizzas including Jelly Bean and Sausage, pepperoni and hot fudge, and mac n' cheese. The 65 flavors presented in the cookbook stay true to the [classic old school cartoon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magic-the-gathering-x-teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles). The charming TMNT-themed cookbook offers something for everyone, including [breakfast pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-chef-x-spongebob) and vegetation pizzas.
