What do you do when you’re a teenager who loves cooking but also likes spending time with your mates? If you happen to be Sam Stern then you combine them both into one cracking cookbook!

After his first two cookbooks, Sam fancied a new challenge. So when seven mates asked him to sort out some top tasting recipes based on their one favourite food, he went for it. The result? Get Cooking – one brilliant cookbook with eight sections, one for each mate and their ingredient of choice, and one for Sam himself. That’s tomatoes, cheese, pasta, vegetables, meat, potatoes, sweet stuff and chocolate.

Get Cooking is packed with helpful hints from Sam, as well as nutritional advice. Feeling healthy? Try out Tomato, Squash and Parma Ham salad. Eating on the run? Whip up Perfect Beef Stir-Fry. From tasty starters to simple salads, mouth-watering mains to delectable desserts, Get Cooking has something for everyone.
