Description

Who can resist the likes of fanciful Pizza Skewers or Grilled Chicken Panini? What about Cherry Cucumber Limeade or Pineapple Express Cupcakes?
Pick up a copy of YouTube’s young celebrity chef Chase Bailey’s boldly designed and photographed book—The Official Chase ’N Yur Face Cookbook—and you’ll be surprised and impressed by what may have looked like a cookbook for young adults. What you’ll find is an exciting collection of sixty or so delightfully sophisticated, truly mouth-watering recipes for cooks of all ages that are as simple to create as they are original.
Chase’s appealing personality captivates with comments like “desserts are a kind of ‘soul-food.’” His inventive recipes include everything from Grilled Portobello Rice Bowl with Five-Spice BBQ sauce to Brownie S’Mores Sandwiches to Baked Tilapia over Veggie Potato Almighty (potato and veggie hash) covered with Cheesy Gravy. This wonderfully balanced cookbook covers the culinary spectrum from breakfast to vegetables, meats to desserts, and nutritious to fun. You’ll want to cook everything in this book the first time you read it—whether you’re an omnivore, a vegetarian, a vegan, or gluten-free, you’ll be running out the door to the market to collect ingredients!
​Chase and Chase ‘N Yur Face have received attention from Mario Batali and Guy Fieri and additional accolades in the form of two Foreword Indies book honors. Diagnosed with autism as a toddler, Chase’s success shines the spotlight on food as the common language that binds us all together. Relevant “fun facts” artistically designed into every recipe and additional information on food history and current trends provided via references at the end of the book will further pique your interest in what this bright teenage chef has to say.

Advance Praise

''Chase Bailey, by facing his personal hurdles so bravely, not only empowers others with obstacles but has created a dialogue for families about how food can bring us together.''
--Andrew Scrivani, The New York Times Food Photographer & Director

''Families around the world will be lucky to have Chase Bailey, the most infectious food enthusiast of his generation, guiding them through an exciting culinary adventure. Chase is vibrant, he's energetic about food, and he's experienced food in ways we could only dream of. I m happy to have shared his joy for our little food world inside the kitchen, and I know it will translate in his first cookbook.''
--Mario Batali, Celebrity Chef

''A celebration of Chase and cooking combined.''
--Frances Quinn, Great British Bake Off Winner 2013, Author and Food Designer

''Chase's aspirations as a chef and entertainer, and the cookbook achievement alone are reasons enough to congratulate this young man who daily rises above the challenges of autism. But there is so much more to Chase than this - he is also a committed champion for those like himself, who need help achieving their dreams of acceptance, significance, living a full life, and independence. Much like the Founding Fathers of America whom I have come to know through my own journeys with food, history, and cultures, Chase is a visionary and a voice for this moment in history. His infectious and courageous enthusiasm for life, ability to embrace challenges and differences, and willingness to take positive action on behalf of those in need of assistance by establishing his Chase Your Dreams Foundation, all demonstrate that Chase possesses a sense of responsibility and hope for humanity that extends far beyond mere daydreaming and lip service. He is a person of his word and of action. With Chase, hope is a certainty, not a wish. This makes him a revolutionary and world-changer for his generation - who also happens to possess a refreshing sense of fun and an appreciation for the pleasures that come from simple yet sensational food, like the recipes he shares in this cookbook. May we all experience the joy that beckons to us on every page.''
--Chef Walter Staib, Proprietor of City Tavern Restaurant, 6 Time Emmy Award Winner, James Beard Award Nominee, Food Historian, and Cookbook Author

''Chase Bailey, by facing his personal hurdles so bravely, not only empowers others with obstacles but has created a dialogue for families about how food can bring us together.''

About the author himself, his story is both encouraging and inspiring. About the cookbook itself, there are quite a few recipes I am definitely planning on making. I thought it was really cute that he put fun facts in before each recipe. Good read and good recipes.

In addition to making people aware of autism, this is a pretty good cookbook. The recipes are easy and look delicious. Chase is an autistic boy who, with the help of his mother, found a way of being creative - particularly with food and cooking. His story is heartwarming and his recipes are simple and delicious.

Chase, of Chase 'N Yur Face fame, has put out a cookbook. "The Official Chase 'N Yur Face Cookbook" is an overall great book that is an inspiration for both the kitchen and life. This book was created by someone who, up until the age of eight, could only eat five foods due to food aversions. Chase was diagnosed with autism as a toddler. It is common for those with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) to become overwhelmed by sounds, tastes, textures, and smells. This limited Chase's diet even though it wasn't the best for his health.

However, everything changed when Chase discovered cooking shows with his grandfather. He was able to experience new foods without it negatively affecting his senses. From there he started to go to restaurants to try new foods with his mother. Now Chase creates his own recipes and explores the world of food on his YouTube channel.

If you have your own cooking show, the next step is to put your love of food into a book. This cookbook allows the community Chase brought together to join in on the fun. I think this book would be perfect for a young chef who wants to cook for family and friends. Children will enjoy making foods that everyone, of all ages, can enjoy. There are even gluten-free options. The recipes I am most excited about are: Pigs in a Waffle, Apricot Amazeballs, and the Cherry Cucumber Limeade.

This is a very informative book that provides food facts that span time and cultures. Chase presents a well written book that allows you to learn while you cook. The visuals are great. There are beautiful pictures of food and cute illustrations. Chase said one goal for this book was to provide a way for him to connect with people. Communication and interpersonal relationships can be difficult for those on the spectrum. I believe he has succeeded. While reading the book you can really get a sense of who Chase is as a person.

Another goal Chase set for the book was to help others within the autism community. The Chase Yur Dreams Foundation is a non-profit that was started because he wanted to assist those who are affected by ASD. The objective is to provide the grants and resources/support someone with autism needs to live independently. A portion of the proceeds from the book goes to funding the foundation.

Chase's story is uplifting, encouraging, and motivating. I can't wait to make some of these recipes.. You can tell he put a lot of love and thought into the cookbook, and I loved that he put fun facts in with each recipe. I would definitely recommend this book to others.

This particular book holds a special place in my heart. I was given the chance to review this amazing new cookbook by NetGalley and I couldn't be happier. I first was lured in by the cover. Superficial of me...maybe but I like what I like. Just look at how bright and colorful the cover is. I took one look at that smiling teen cook and all that glorious food and I was intrigued. I then read the book blurb and I was curious.
Then I read the author bio and was completely and utterly inspired. This young man is simply fantastic. He has overcome so much in his young life and taken the opportunity to reach out and help others. I have been following Chase on YouTube and watching his videos and to see him in action is wildly entertaining in the best possible way. I love the way he interacts with the viewers and the guests. His personality really shines throughout this cookbook just as well.

This is a cookbook that will be used over and over again. The pages are bright and colorful. He has found a way to include "Fun Facts" that help link the recipe to culture and history. I learned quite a few facts while reading it. The photos are gorgeous and the recipes are easy to follow even for the younger chefs in your house. I mean with recipes like Barnyard Breakfast Muffins, Pigs in a Waffle, Stuffed Hash Potato, and Hearty Chicken and Lemon Verbena Soup...how could you not want to try the dishes?

This book has a very inspiring story, although the items covered are used over a wide spectrum of books already on the market; it may be interesting to the younger generation who have not yet delved into the realm of sourcing good cook books

Chase has combined his love for food and education to provide readers with a greater awareness of autism and simple recipes. I like that it's not just a cookbook but it also provides lots of interesting facts. I found this cookbook to be quite inspirational as well as handy.
