MEGAN CARLE is 19 years old and in her first year at the University of Arizona as a food science major.
She has been cooking since she was three years old, when she would saw away at vegetables with her pumpkin-cutting
knife. She has lived and cooked in Germany, traveled in France, and is fluent in French and German.
JILL CARLE is 16 years old and a senior in high school. She has always been interested in cooking and has
traveled extensively, although her tastes remain decidedly all-American.
JUDI CARLE has served as chef/author, project coordinator, and general editor on more than 20 cookbooks,
including the best-selling Charlie Trotter series and, most recently, Shakespeare’s Kitchen. The Carles all live
in Phoenix, Arizona.
Written by two teens who know what teens do and don’t know about cooking, Teens Cook is an instructional cookbook that teaches
young adults how to make great meals - and be confident and independent in the kitchen. Authors Megan and Jill Carle are teenage
sisters with nothing much in common when it comes to food - except that they both know how to cook really well. One buys ingredients
she likes and figures out what to make when she gets home; the other follows every recipe to the letter. One is a vegetarian who’s
drawn to ethnic food; the other prefers all-American comfort food. Together, they’re a dynamic duo who have created and mastered
more than 75 recipes for breakfasts, snacks, sides, family meals, dinners for one, and desserts. In Teens Cook, the Carle sisters
also share their kitchen know-how on averting and fixing disasters, dealing with cookbook math (fractions and metrics - ugh!),
deciphering culinary vocabulary (all those terms we kind of know, but not really), explaining chemistry (why and how stuff goes
right and wrong in the kitchen), and avoiding accidents (can you say "grease fire"? oops!). For teens (and tweens) who are tired of
eating what their parents decide to fix, Teens Cook offers foolproof advice for whipping up some tasty home-cooked meals of their own.

While there are many reasons for teaching kids to cook -- less expensive than eating out, preserves family heritage, etc, the most important
reason is that by teaching your child to cook, you're giving him a better chance to be a healthy grown-up. Enabling your child with the ability
to appreciate freshness and to transform ingredients into tasty foods opens their eyes to making wiser choices about what to eat...
