New York Knicks captain Amar'e Stoudemire may be on fire when he's on the court, but the nearly seven-foot-tall hoops star didn't know the first thing about lighting a fire.

Cooking with Amar'e is an engaging chronicle of their informal sessions--a unique, collaborative cookbook featuring stories, recipes, tips, advice, and instructions on cooking techniques, equipment, shopping, party planning, and preparation for home cooks of all levels. Comprehensive and convenient, it allows beginners and practiced cooks to hone their kitchen skills and master dishes at their own pace.

In addition to these delicious dishes--some created by Hardy for his many celebrity clients and others based on the traditional Southern dishes both men enjoyed growing up--this straightforward guide is filled with savory personal anecdotes, from humorous stories of working together as Amar'e learned to cook, to Amar'e and Maxcel's personal reminiscences.
