Cooking Is Cool:Be Healthy - Be Fit by Valentin Krapf

Cooking is Cool:Be Healthy - Be Fit

AED 100.00
ISBN 97830000330759

Description

Bear garlic and spring onions, garden herbs, spring herbs, and granulated bouillon; Grandma’s secret salad spices have finally been made public. Fourteen-year-old Valentin Krapf has just released his cookbook for kids, under the title Cooking is Cool.

‘Kids are lazy, and many of them call on their help to make them sandwiches when the kitchen is one metre away!’ claims an indignant Krapf. The book has a lofty goal: to become a key ingredient in the Abu Dhabi Master Plan 2030, by encouraging children to be more active, more involved, and to take responsibility for their own health, because lazy kids can’t be bothered to make a brighter future.

‘Children in Germany and the UAE are the same,’ says the young chef, who proceeds to lecture us on childhood obesity and the dangers of junk food. ‘You have so many goodies here; do you know that mangos cost five euros in Germany? Here they cost less than a dirham.’ And Valentin’s fruit salad recipe, entitled Mangos, mangos, mangos, makes full use of our city’s supply of cheap produce.

Cooking is Cool encourages kids to prepare snacks that replace crisps, fruit smoothies that replace ice cream, and quick salads with grilled meat and chicken instead of fried foods. But the book is only the beginning, with the help of his mother – who insists on being called Umm Valentin – the teen entrepreneur plans to hold multiple cooking classes for kids, and raise awareness both in Germany and the UAE: ‘The UAE is my second home, and I care about my friends here a lot,’ he assures us.
