Customer Reviews

Great Teen Cookbook (and adults too)

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!"

Cooking Up a Storm: The Teen Survival Cookbook

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!!

Thanks Sam for a well written and easily followed cook book which has added a little spice into my life. I am 77!!! The recipes are so easy to follow and simple to fix. Will I have to wait till you are and old man for you to write a book entitled "Recipes for Old Codgers!"

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!!
