Receiving high praise from parents and kids alike, this live-action series follows the adventures of three teen girls who find a magical cookbook whose ancient recipes act as potentially life-changing spells.

Noted for its consistently funny, warm episodes, it focuses on three teen friends who juggle school, family, and friendship while also managing their popular webcast.
