(More customer reviews)As a recent widow / single mother of 2 boys I can't tell you what a difference this book has made for me and my family! We "vote" on who gets to cook what meal / snacks etc. The kids pick out their recipes, love to get the groceries and cook. I didn't think this was even possible. Fast food has a new meaning now. Very tasty and easy to make. My 9 year old wants to read ... loves food, the stories and I hear him laughing at the cute jokes. He's been failing reading at school, so this has been a pleasant surprise for both of us.
It reminded me of all the great times I've had in the kitchen with my mother and my grandparents who used to can "for the winter" and "survive" from their garden. It's brought back so many great memories for me and the importance of eating together as a family (however broken it might seem). Like a piece of the puzzle that was missing.
The pictures and the clever little way the authors weave their stories into each recipe is amazing. There are games, and even recipes for camping out... another thing this broken family needed!
If they only knew what a difference they were making. I recommend this to anyone, even those "hard of cooking" as a way to bring themselves and their families back to oneness. Tears welling in my eyes.... Can't wait for the next book. I know what I'm giving everyone for Christmas now.
