Summary: Our Favorite Cookbook
Review: My family has enjoyed every meal I've made from this book! I'm not much for long, complicated recipes. This book has easy recipes with lots of substitutions. We do buy a lot from health food stores, but our local grocery has most of the ingredients, or at least substitutions (spaghetti for udon, peanut butter for almond butter). We never found mirin, but the recipes with this ingredient are great without.
I could hardly put this book down. [...] I found this book not only full of beneficial information, but easy to follow and easy to find ingredients.

Summary: Best thing I ever did for myself/my family and our health!
Review: This book has some excellent recipies made with whole foods. I was able to get rid of all the additives, preservatives, etc, and make meals with truly wholesome ingredients and the recipes taste great. My whole family loves it when I make something from this book. Even has a section that profiles the not so common ingredients. Would highly recommend to anyone trying to "clean up" their eating act! One of the best things I've done for my family and our health/eating habits. A+++++

Summary: Vegetarian equals Whole Foods????????
Review: This is a VEGETARIAN book with one recipe for chicken breast.
There is no milk, no eggs, no yogurt unless you want to count putting a dollop of yogurt on top of a bean burrito.
I researched what "whole foods" means and this book is NOT it.
This is a vegetarian SOY BEANS book.
She uses tofu, tempeh, soy milk, tamari, and shoyu ALOT!The book starts out great telling me everything I wanted to hear about changing eating habits and how our diets need to be more whole foods, but then she has a recipe for imitation meat products made from "PROCESSED" wheat flour gluten. Please..... And then she recommends you read the labels of the cereals in the store and pick a good one! There are no good ones! That's why I bought the book. Duh! If you want to read about whole foods, read Nourishing Traditions book by Sally Fallon. I was just looking for kid-friendly recipes that uses grains, etc, and this wasn't it.

Review: This is so great - nutrition advice from breastfeeding to solids on up to grown-ups, tasty recipes, and a pretty good read. Awesome especially if you are short on time - all the recipes have a prep and cooking time estimation.

Summary: My daughter's favorite food is broccoli
Review: Three cheers for Cynthia Lair's Feeding the Whole Family! From baby's first cereal to recipes that adults love, this book is packed with delicious, nutritious recipes. The recipes are mostly simple and easy to make, and the nutrition advice and cooking instructions for grains and beans are constantly useful. Having a kid is a great incentive to start eating healthy if you don't already, and Feeding the Whole Family helps you do it without spending all day preparing different food for everyone in your household. Try Cynthia's version of Bathing Rama with udon noodles! I double this recipe every time I make it because it is so popular in our family. Get this book and discover how easy and delicious it is to raise a healthy family. And, yes, your kid (and you and your partner) will love broccoli and kale and seaweed, too!
