I know Freddie Prinze Jr. as the handsome, slightly goofy male lead in movies like She’s All That and Head Over Heels. Also as the husband to the cute-as-a-button Sarah Michelle Gellar (or Buffy, as I think of her). So I was pleasantly surprised to find that the still-boyish actor has serious skills in the kitchen.

In his new cookbook, Back to the Kitchen: 75 Real Recipes & True Stories from a Food-Obsessed Actor, he talks about how he learned to cook (from his mother) and shares the recipes inspired by his Puerto Rican heritage and childhood in New Mexico. Warning: He likes it hot, but his recipes are definitely family-friendly — he has two of his own to feed and they also help out in the kitchen. It’s how he gets them to say something other than “good” when he asks about their day.

We chatted with the teenage heartthrob who’s all grown-up about cooking and fatherhood. Here’s what he had to say.

Warrior Fit Testimonials

First, I want to say thank you for convincing me to do Tabata! I was struggling to lose weight and Finally I found something that helped! I really appreciate your coaching! - Craig T.

Ever since I was convinced to do Tabata I have seen huge results, I lost 6 pounds and gained energy in the first 3 weeks. I have been working out for 3 months before I decided to do Tabata and I struggled to lose weight. At first I thought "How am I losing weight by bringing my heart rate up then cooling down then bringing it up again?" I don’t know how it works but it does! Thank you!! - Theresa F.

The first day of Tabata, I wondered WHAT AM I DOING - I AM 56 !! Five weeks later I knew that it was what I needed. I learned that I could push myself well beyond my comfort zone and feel good later. I have a marked improvement in physical as well as emotional endurance. - Lyn C.

When I was first told about Tabata I was very excited from the word go, however that excitement stemmed from the fact that I had no clue what it meant. I missed the first week of class b/c I was traveling for work so when I came in during the 2nd week I had some making it up to do. It was hard at first b/c my body wasn't used to working out at such a fast pace, but once I got into a rhythm I started to feel very good. These classes are no joke. If you stick with it you will leave there feeling stronger, healthier and overall better about yourself and what you've accomplished. I would recommend these classes to anyone. Darrin is a great trainer and he'll keep you going with his energy. - Jami L.
