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.

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Having bought and really rated the previous 2 Sam Stern books, I made sure that the new one, Get Cooking, was delivered hot off the press as soon as it was available. I'm so pleased that I did - it does not disappoint. Sam has clearly grown up, and that's reflected in the book. Although it follows the same user-friendly layout and chatty tone, he has included some slightly more sophisticated recipes (along with lots of very useful basics). It's a book that should appeal to teen boys and girls alike who will relate to Sam and the group of friends who are photographed and quoted throughout. It's clear, concise and never patronising (and no long lists of ingredients either).
The book is divided up according to ingredient, from cheese to veg, via pasta, meat and potatoes and others. The cheese, chill and onion muffins and tangy tomato burgers have already gone down a treat in our house.
Whether you want to cook some great recipes yourself or would like to get your teens off the sofa and into the kitchen, this is the book for you.

By T. A. C
Format:Paperback
There are three cook books in the series written by Sam Stern. This latest book is fantastic. It delivers where other cook books fail to, great tasting food and interesting recipes that actually work. Rather than just making the food look good, this book enables you to make really tasty food.
It has a great layout and it is easy to understand and follow the instructions. It looks great and would be a great asset to any kitchen.
Its different to other cookbooks in that its written by a young cook with real passion for food. This is obvious from reding the text. This means that its a good book to read and will inspire young children and teenangers to cook. It also promotes healthy eating but in a way that is only possible because the author is a teenanger, so other teenangers may actually listen.
This would be a great idea for christmas for any kitchen and is a great way to get your teenangers cooking.

Format:Paperback
This book is one of the best ever, it features recipes that actually work (the corned beef hash is a regular.) The book has 8 chapters for every type of food. Tomatoes, Cheese, Pasta, Veg, Meat, Potatoes, Puddings (Chocolate) and Puddings (Other.) I've had plenty of dips into the book and still haven't tried a fraction of all the recipes. I now intend to get the other book (Cooking up a storm) as soon as I can.

Wouldn't buy Sam Stern again
If your teenager is at the basic stage then this is good but if your child is a bit more adventurous or has a passion for food, then we prefer Jamie Oliver.
