About this title

About the Author

ABOUT MAX Seven-year-old Max Nania has always been the creative type. His mother, Sienna Nania, says her son began inventing snacks when he was only three. She s always encouraged her budding chef so long as he always helps clean up afterwards.Max is a typical second grader with a passion for sports (he enjoys playing soccer and is an avid fan of the Atlanta Braves baseball team). He s a talented video gamer, but balances that out with a love for comic books and chapter books. His interest in reading began when he was in preschool. He and his mom would read together and for fun would occasionally make up recipes to go along with the stories.When Max was a first grader, he needed to practice his handwriting, so he started writing down the recipes he d concocted. And that s how Cooking with Max first came about, he says. ABOUT MAX S MOM Sienna Nania is a self-described Wonder Mom. Being a mom is absolutely awesome, she says. But many times, I just plain wonder what s going to happen next and how long will it take to clean it up, she explains with a laugh. Parenthood both amazes and crazes, she adds.Sienna is a former yoga instructor and currently, in on top of her mom duties (in addition to Max, she has another son, Ian), serves as an agent for a Celtic rock band. She s also a playwright for a children s theatre.The kitchen is her favorite room in the house, for it is in the kitchen that she and her family talk, teach, laugh, eat, and cook together. She couldn t believe it when other moms would tell her they didn t want their toddlers in the kitchen when they made dinner. Why, that s where all this cookbook of Max s came together! she says.
