Cooking Up a Storm

'A cracking book by a great young lad - get the teenagers cooking!' Jamie Oliver

'There is something magnetic about Sam’s book and, as a utensil for teenagers, it’s perfect.' The Observer

'Teenagers could do no better than buy themselves a copy of Sam Stern’s Cooking up a Storm.' The Bookseller

'When Jamie met Sam it must have been hard to know who was the more excited. Jamie Oliver has long been a hero of Sam Stern, while Sam Stern is everything Jamie Oliver could wish for: a streetwise teenager with an aversion to junk food.' The Daily Telegraph

'His cookbook, published this month, is intended to show other hungry teenagers and students that feeding yourself is not rocket science and need not be time-consuming.' TES

'An ideal introduction to the delights and rewards of cookery.' The Guardian Review

'The super-cool teenage author is seen serving dishes to his parents, sitting on the counter top with his mates or mixing pastry wearing a baseball cap. My 13-year-old sample (of one) found him 'cute' and 'would definitely make' his simple recipes. She found very appealing his descriptions of making scrambled eggs as 'like getting to the next level on a tricky PS2 game. You need a good eye and well fast reflexes.' Watch out Jamie!' The Spectator

'Move over Jamie Oliver. The most amazing thing...is that nobody thought of doing it before. The recipes we've tried worked well and were simple to prepare.' Glasgow Herald

'The layout of the book is great, the ideas are good and the food is geared to what young people like ... definitely the most teenage-friendly cookbook we've used.' Sunday Express
