About the Author

Robert Surles, aka Chef Bobo, has held many distinguished cooking positions including:
  • Chef instructor at the French Culinary Institute in New York City;
  • Corporate chef at IMG, a sports marketing and management company;
  • Official chef at the Krewe of Orpheus in New Orleans, a Mardi Gras parade group founded by jazz musician and entertainer Harry Connick Jr.;
  • Personal chef for baseball star Derek Jeter;
  • School chef for the Calhoun School in Manhattan, NY.
Chef Bobo believes the best way to ensure that adults eat well is to develop an appetite for healthy foods early in life. His recipes feature nutritious food with bold flavor. At Calhoun School, where he also teaches at an after-school cooking club for students, his culinary skills are transforming the way kids think about and eat food. Some the most popular items at Calhoun School are steamed broccoli and rutabaga fries. Kids want their parents to serve them the same food they get at school so Chef Bobo often sends recipes home.

5.0 out of 5 stars A recipe book designed especially to help parents November 11, 2004
Format:Hardcover
Expert culinary teacher Chef Bobo has proven his talent by personally demonstrating to more than 500 children, ranging in temperament from skeptical to finicky, that simple, healthy food can taste great and satisfy a hearty appetite. Chef Bobo's Good Food Cookbook is a recipe book designed especially to help parents create healty and delicious meals for their young ones, but the basic recipes within work wonders for the eating habits of all ages. The importance of instilling good eating habits at a young age cannot be stressed enough, and Chef Bobo's Good Food Cookbook features such great dishes as Chunky Vegetable Soup, Chicken Cacciatora, Rutabaga Fries, Banana Sorbet, and more. In a nation oversaturated with junk food, fast food, soda, store bought cookies and salad dressing with unnecessary fat and calories, canned soups with unhealthy levels of salt, and worse, the need for an easy-to-follow, health living meal guides like Chef Bobo's Good Food Cookbook has never been greater.
