Book Overview
What's cooking? An enthusiastic young chef shares his teen-tested tips and recipes for everything from breakfast to dinner, desserts to brain-boosting snacks. A kid's gotta eat - and what better way to make sure that the food on your plate hits the spot than to make it yourself? Fourteen-year-old Sam Stern, with a bit of help from his mom, Susan, is more than happy to share dozens of his favorite recipes for all occasions. There are pancakes for breakfast and easy lunches like soup or salad to pack up for school. Quick meals like spaghetti or omelettes are best for busy school nights; for weekends there are serious dinners like homemade lasagna or whole roasted chicken. And don't forget fancy, mouth-watering desserts; addictive but healthy snacks; and even special menus and suggestions to help keep your brain awake during dreaded exam time. Especially geared toward teen readers is the lively running commentary from Sam, plus colorful photos of food preparation and the ultimate chef's reward: feasting with friends.

Great Teen Cookbook (and adults too)
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Great cook book. My son enjoys it very much. He is 16 years old. He is a typical jock. Plays football, baseball, basketball, and races moto-x. But, in his spare time he loves to cook. It is a great hit with his friends, especially the girls! He got the cookbook for his birthday in January and has used it several times. We would highly recommend "Cooking Up A Storm!"

Sam Stern uses an appealing approach to cooking for teens. I appreciate the fact that he chooses healthy menus and manageable recipes for the events in the teen's life. He makes it possible for the teen to have fun in the kitchen and serve delicious food for him/herself and friends as the result.
Very relevant for more than teens!!

Fantastic teen cookbook

Cooking up a storm is a great cook book for kids of all ages. I have 3 kids ages 7, 11 and 16 and each one of them has enjoyed using this book to make some Fab food. Before this book they would get bored if they tried to use a cook book but with the pictures, explanations and real funny captions they were glued to it. Not only that but it has everything you could want to cook in it so its even useful for us adults. Anything that will get my kids in the kitchen making real food deserves some credit. I would definitely reccomend it!!
