The Official Chase ’n Yur Face Cookbook

Chase Bailey. Chase ’n Yur Face Media, $24.95 trade paper (172p) ISBN 9-780-692-75585-3

In this enthusiastic, feel-good cookbook, teen YouTube cooking show host Bailey encourages others to be themselves and celebrate life. From early childhood, Bailey had severe food aversions along with developmental and physical issues. Some years later, watching cooking shows with his grandfather led to the discovery that he wanted to try different foods and the dream of doing his own cooking show. Not one to procrastinate, Bailey started the Chase ’n Yur Face show. Caveman kabobs, spicy double-dipped onion straws, and fish and chips are pleasingly simple. Baked tilapia with a “Veggie Potato Almighty” (broccoli, potatoes, cauliflower, carrots) a grilled portobello rice bowl, and vegetable spaghetti are more sophisticated. This is a great book to get kids cooking and encourage those who feel that such things are beyond their reach, and adults will enjoy some of the recipes as well. (BookLife.)
