COOKBOOK REVIEW

The Family Kitchen by Debra Ponzek

I discovered this book at the library, and after having checked it out two separate times decided to just buy the darn thing! I love the idea of cooking with my kids...and they love to "help" as they call it! The recipes are healthy, for the most part, fresh ingredients and whole not processed food. We, meaning Jack Jack and I made the banana bread last week, took it to church on Sunday and there was none, not a crumb to bring back home. It was a very easy, two bowl recipe! I made the pasta primevara recipe, lots of fresh vegetables and after some bribing got the kids to eat it! Yummy! My parents and husband also loved it. Last night I made the homemade bread, the recipe made 3 loaves, 1 and 1/2 are now gone. Love that bread with butter! I can't wait to try more recipes from this book. I would highly recommend it to anyone with our without kids who just wants to cook whole, good foods! I hope the library doesn't charge for stains on the pages! Oh, and the cookbook reads easily with lots of pictures and hints to get the kids into the kitchen. Go and buy this cookbook! I hope to see more from Debra Ponzek soon.
