Win phone 7 read XML file

Im currently trying to read an XML file and populate an observable collection, but I cant see what im doing wrong here, every time I look in the reader the xml nodes are empty

This code loads the XML file into the Xelement and I can see the data is correct.

   StreamResourceInfo xml = Application.GetResourceStream(new Uri("/WindowsPhoneDataBoundApplication1;component/Cookies.xml", UriKind.Relative));

   XElement appDataXml;   
   // Get a stream to the XML file which contains the data and load it into the XElement. 
   appDataXml = XElement.Load(xml.Stream);

This seems to be where things are going wrong for me:

    foreach (XNode n in appDataXml.Elements())
    {
        ViewModels.Cookie tempCookie = new ViewModels.Cookie();

        XmlReader reader = n.CreateReader();

        while (reader.Read())
        {
            if (reader.Name == "Name")
            {
                tempCookie.Name = reader.Value.ToString();
            }
        }
        _cookieList.Add(tempCookie);
    }

If anyone can point me in the right direction id be really gratefull. thanks.

Edit: Here is my XML file

Eww, you're mixing LINQ to XML with regular old XML stuff. Choose one or the other, not both. Choose LINQ to XML. You've already got it started. Though you should use an XDocument instead.

var xmlUri = new Uri("/WindowsPhoneDataBoundApplication1;component/Cookies.xml",
                     UriKind.Relative);
var xmlStream = Application.GetResourceStream(xmlUri);

var doc = XDocument.Load(xmlStream);
var newCookies = doc
    .Descendants("Cookie")
    .Select(e =>
        new ViewModels.Cookie
        {
            Name = e.Element("Name").Value,
            // initialize any other values you need here            
            Description = e.Element("Description").Value,
            Ingredients = e
                .Element("Ingredients")
                .Elements("Ingredient")
                .Select(i =>
                    new Ingredient
                    {
                        Name = i.Element("Name").Value,
                        Amount = i.Element("Amount").Value,
                    }),
            Duration = (double)e.Element("Duration"),
            // etc.
        });
_cookieList.AddRange(newCookies); // add the cookies to our existing list

foreach (XElement cookie in appDataXml.Elements())
{
    ViewModels.Cookie tempCookie = new ViewModels.Cookie();
    tempCookie.Name = cookie.Element("Name").Value;

    _cookieList.Add(tempCookie);
}
