Kevin Sylvester used to read Hardy Boys’ mysteries growing up and now he’s found a way to combine that with cooking.

“The way I describe it is you sort of throw James Bond, Julia Child and Gordon Ramsay into a blender and … get a youth potion and you come out with Neil FlambĂ©,” he said. “The way I describe it to kids is I say, ‘Take things that you like and mash them together.’”

Sylvester, CBC Radio personality and author of the best-selling Neil FlambĂ© series of children’s books, will be a guest at the 2015 Saskatchewan Festival of Words, which will run from July 16 to 19. At the festival, he will host the Kids Ink workshop.
