Easy, delicious and practical cooking!:

As a family that eats very little meat, this cookbook has really done wonders for us! Directions are simple, recipes are great for everyday use, and we have yet to make something we haven't loved! I highly recommend it, and other books by Nava Atlas. She knows a lot about cooking for families.

Great place to start for vegetarian recipes, but...:

I like this recipe book for its family-friendly approach. It has great basic recipes, and my family has enjoyed most of the recipes we've tried. The only drawback I've found is that the food, as prepared per the recipe, tends to be bland. I usually research my other recipe books on what spices to add and have been pleased with the results. The book does suggest "embellishments", but usually not amounts to add.

not much new here:

I have another veg cook book by Nava Atlas, and this book is very similar. I got this book because it's big selling point is that it has plenty of simple recipes for picky kids.

It offers plenty of vegan recipes, maybe more vegan than vegetarian. Not the best book ever.

One of the greatest and most used books in my kitchen/ This one is for the whole family!:

My husband and I just love this book, I use it just about every day. I am currently... more info
