Deceptively Delicious: Simple Secrets to Get Your Kids Eating Good Food
Jessica Seinfeld
Collins Living, 2007
Not bad at all
I haven't actually purchased this yet, I just got it from our library. I am really liking it so far. My daughter is 13 months and it's hard to get her to eat veggies. I put pureed butternut squash or sweet potato in her mac and cheese every time I make it and she ...

The Food You Crave: Luscious Recipes for a Healthy Life
Ellie Krieger
Taunton, 2008
Delicious and Easy--My Kind of Cookbook
This has probably been the best cookbook purchase I've ever made. All of the recipes that I have tried (about a good 1/3 of the book already) have turned out wonderfully and best of all I--a novice cook--have been able to actually make them. And lest you think that ...

Skinny Bitch in the Kitch: Kick-Ass Recipes for Hungry Girls Who Want to Stop Cooking Crap (and Start Looking ...
Rory Freedman, Kim Barnouin
Running Press, 2007
Great for vegans and non-vegans alike!
First let me say that some of the other reviewers aren't exactly fair. This is a vegan cookbook. It's not fair to use this review space to share opinions about the entire vegan lifestyle. You knew it was a vegan cookbook, so don't complain that none of the recipes call ...

Lisa Lillien
St. Martin's Griffin, 2008
Great Book! We're all losing weight!!!
I've had the whole family on WW and added Hungry Girl's book to our collection. I love the humorous style in which she writes...makes you feel better about "dieting". But since it's a whole new life style, I don't call it a diet anymore...;)
Anyway, the recipes are ...

Nourishing Traditions: The Cookbook that Challenges Politically Correct Nutrition and the Diet Dictocrats
Sally Fallon
NewTrends Publishing, Inc., 1999
Responding to some objections
Nourishing Traditions is full of little gems. It is a big, thick book, rather like a telephone book in aspect, yet it is concisely (if not tersely) written. In an effort to save money, I went on the Weston A. Price Foundation web site and read the articles there, ...

Nearly perfect recipe book
I have a number of ice cream recipe books, and I also have my mother's custard-style ice cream recipe from way back. While I love custard-style ice cream, it is a lot of work, and sometimes I just want to throw together some ingredients and toss them into my MUSSO ...
