About the book
Encouraging teens to cook has many benefits. As well as promoting good nutrition to support their growing bodies, cooking is a skill that's fun and enjoyable. Expanding their knowledge about preparing food can also boost confidence and help teens to connect with family and friends.
Julie Jansen is a Home Economist, recipe writer and food stylist. Her recipes have graced the pages of numerous cookbooks, food magazines, and websites.
The Shared Apron is her second self-published cookbook, following the success of Apricots & Apron Strings. Julie believes a simple solution to the future nourishment of our kids is to give them an apron and encourage the life skill of cooking.
At just 15, Ethan Jansen is already a passionate cook. He's confident with a chef's knife, adept at preparing family meals, whipping up snacks for friends, and inventing innovative recipes. Ethan is keen to show other teens how simple and enjoyable it can be to prepare delicious meals at home.
