Since the creation of her first cookbook for kids, Kids Cook 1-2-3, Rozanne has enjoyed working
with young chefs, some of whom are family friends, some of whom she's met through their
mutual interest in cooking. It was a conversation with one of these aspiring chefs, Evan Chender,
who is now 19 and had self- published his own cookbook, that she was inspired to write for a
book for this age group. She recruited a team of boys and girls from 9 to 19 to taste all of the
more than 80 recipes in this book.
They include 15-year-old Danielle Hartog, who was Rozanne’s sous chef on Kids Cook (the two
met in a cookbook bookstore a few years ago when Rozanne saw her curled up in a chair pouring
over some recipes); 13-year-old Shayna DePersia, her daughter; and 16-year-old Ian Kimmel who is
launching his own nonprofit food organization for kids. Photographer Phil Mansfield's son Killian
and his buddies also lent a hand.
Each page features photographs of and comments from the team as they chop, dice, stir, and eat.
Vegetables or fruits are the stars of each recipe with surprises galore: zucchini gets whirled into a
gorgeous sauce for pasta primavera; cauliflower gets top-billing in a delicious side dish called
“Looks like Mashed Potatoes,” and marmalade is made from carrots! Here is the most
delicious, healthful and beautiful food you could ever want to make.
Working alongside nutritionist Helen Kimmel and the all-star team, Gold aims to establish good
habits while being aware of how discriminating teens’ palates can be. With over 80 teen-
approved recipes, Eat Fresh Food includes everything from family favorites like mac ‘n’ cheese,
pizza, and blueberry muffins to more exotic dishes like risi e bisi and Asian summer rolls, all made
with twists that include fresh, healthy ingredients while remaining absolutely delicious.
