Get Cooking

After his first two cookbooks, Sam Stern wanted a new challenge. And since there's nobody harder to please than your mates, he asked seven of his friends to choose their favourite ingredients so he could make dishes using the food they liked most. The result? One cracking cookbook with eight sections (including one food chosen from Sam himself), full of great tasting meals and snacks to impress anyone. Whether it's chocolate or cheese, tomatoes or pasta, there's something here to suit all.

Sam Stern is sixteen years old. With his mum, Susan, who got him started, he has written the cookbooks Cooking Up a Storm and Real Food, Real Fast for teenagers like himself, who enjoy cooking or are keen to learn. Sam, who is the youngest of five, is studying in the sixth form and lives in Yorkshire with his family.
