Hi, Rebels!

Welcome to the first-ever Rebel Girls cookbook. We're so glad you're here.

Whether you're totally new to cooking or already whipping up meals with your family, you're in the right place. Do you want to know the best way to pit an avocado or crack an egg? Get step-by-step instructions that will make tricky techniques a breeze. Are you curious about different cuisines? Explore international recipes and ingredients full of fun flavors. Are you a picky eater? Take a chance on some recipes you've never tried, prepared just the way you like them--by you!

No matter who you are, Rebel Girls Cook will teach you important cooking skills, introduce you to new foods and recipes, and give you the confidence to conquer the kitchen. Trying new things is one of the best ways to boost your confidence. You'll feel like a star chef in no time!

We'll introduce you to some cooking basics before we dive into the recipes to make sure you feel comfortable in the kitchen. You'll find delicious recipes from all kinds of cuisines in each chapter. Along the way, you'll learn fun facts about women from history (both in and out of the kitchen), hear from kids like you about their favorite recipes, and ponder questions that will make you think about the wonderful world of cooking.

You'll also meet some of the Rebels currently ruling the food world. These chefs have opened their own restaurants, published cookbooks, and shared their cuisines with people around the globe. In Rebel Girls Cook, they'll share their advice--and their recipes--with you. Asma Khan, owner of Darjeeling Express restaurant in London, will teach you to make a fish kabab. Rahanna Bisseret Martinez, who competed on Top Chef Junior, will show you how to craft mushroom onigiri. And food writer and cookbook author Hetty Lui McKinnon will help you whip up some sheet pan chow mein. These are just a few of the amazing women you'll meet in these pages. We hope they'll inspire you to forge your own path, whether you want to become a chef one day or are looking for creative ways to express yourself through food.

We can't wait for you to discover new flavors, show off your skills with your friends and family, and decide how you want to run your kitchen. Let's get cooking!
