Recipes to Set Teenagers on a Healthy Path<\/strong><\/p>\n

…There is no better time than now to change this trajectory and get the nation\u2019s youngsters on a more wholesome track. And there may be no better way to start than by consulting a new book, \u201cEat Fresh Food: Awesome Recipes for Teen Chefs,\u201d (Bloomsbury), by the award-winning chef Rozanne Gold in collaboration with a nutritionist, Helen Kimmel.<\/p>\n

In creating the book with five budding teenage cooks, Ms. Gold, who lives in Brooklyn, took to heart the mantra of Marion Nestle, a professor of nutrition and public health at New York University, who has written many books on wholesome food choices: \u201cI\u2019ve long argued that the best way to get people to eat more healthfully is to teach kids to cook.\u201d<\/p>\n

…There is no better proof, perhaps, than the experience of another of Ms. Gold\u2019s teenage cooks, Danielle Hartog, 15, of Westport, Conn., who is a vegetarian. Danielle, who lost 23 pounds in seven months using recipes in the book, said in an interview, \u201cOnce I started eating healthy and feeling healthy, I started exercising every day and experienced a huge boost in confidence.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s hard not to be motivated,\u201d she added. \u201cIt\u2019s easy cooking, fun, healthy, and any teen could do it by themselves.\u201d Once a devotee of pesto pasta \u2014 \u201ctwo portions after school\u201d \u2014 she was surprised to find that her favorite recipe is the Very Fresh Vegetable Soup.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Looks like a very cool book – so I\u00a0just ordered a copy from Amazon for my kids.\u00a0 Both\u00a0Ryan and Nick are\u00a0reasonably capable cooks, but don’t always go out of their way to prep veggies… maybe this will inspire them.\u00a0 It won’t be here in time for Xmas, but that’s ok.\u00a0 It’ll\u00a0make a great New Year’s gift.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
