Whether you are following Freddie Prinze Jr. Says Watching 'Scooby Doo' Movies with His Kids Is “Nerve-Wracking” (Exclusive), this article provides key summaries worth reading.

You may have not realized this, but since Freddie took a little step back from acting, he pursued his other lifelong dream: cooking. That's right — the 90s heartthrob published a cookbook titled Back to the Kitchen: 75 Delicious, Real Recipes (& True Stories) from a Food-Obsessed Actor : A Cookbook, which is chock full of delicious recipes and amazing stories. But where did he learn to cook in the first place?

"All of my interest in cooking came from one person, and that’s my mom," he says. "My mother’s cooking always brought me not just to the table, but to the stove."

He wrote each recipe to be easy for other folks with families, like himself.

"I wrote the cookbook a few years ago, and it's not just a book of recipes, it's a book of stories. One of the best recipes in the book is my daughter’s peanut butter chocolate chip cookies. I try to keep everything very simple, with cooking times under 40 minutes. I’m a parent with two kids so, especially during the holidays when you’re going to have more people over, I like to keep things simple."

And while Freddie and Gellar are certainly a team in the world of parenting, Freddie takes on all of the culinary responsibilities — which he says Gellar certainly appreciates.

"I know how to cook, and she doesn’t. She keeps me around because I make her laugh, and I keep her full."
