Summary

Nutritious, delicious, and easy-to-cook recipes for today's busy and heavily-scheduled teens from "one of the finest young chefs ever" (Harry Connick, Jr.). Remmi Smith, a teen chef who hosts two cooking shows-- Culinary Kid and Cook Time with Remmi --and serves as a national Student Ambassador for a leading food services company, has written a cookbook encouraging teens to take up healthy cooking as a new pastime.Through the colorful, easy-to-read, 220-page book, Remmi sets out to inspire teens to adopt healthy eating habits by introducing them to the glorious pastime of cooking. The book takes the reader on a culinary journey across the seven continents, highlighting a country and its top food items in each one. Each section features geographic descriptions, a full menu (from appetizer to dessert), fun facts, brain teasers, personal tips, and delicious photos of the recipes--making it a geography lesson, a cookbook, and a social studies class all in one.What's most evident in this book is Remmi's passion for cooking. What's most appealing is her genuine writing style and ability to relate to other teens. Remmi's recipes include a lot of vegetables and she uses fruits to add natural sweetness while going light on spices to make the dishes more appealing to children and teens."I want to inspire teens to get in the kitchen and have some fun, cook healthy and enjoy life and the love of food," Remmi says. "You can explore the world through food. Writing this book was a really big adventure for me and I hope it will be an adventure for everyone else."
