There’s no better way to teach children the importance of eating fresh, healthy, organic food than with recipes their families can cook and eat together! With its innovative approach to cooking as a family, The Whole Family Cookbook inspires parents and children to fill their tables with exciting dishes that are still nutritious and seasonal. An award-winning food educator and founder of San Francisco’s premier children’s cooking school, author Michelle Stern has a passion for passing on culinary skills to younger generations.

Now, in her first cookbook, Michelle gives families the resources they need to cook delicious, local, and organic food, including:

* Practical advice to teach parents how to pick the best of local and natural food without spending too much time or money.
* Color-coded instructions that guide kids of all ages through age-appropriate steps in every recipe.
* More than 75 organic, family-friendly recipes and beautiful four-color photos that will get everyone excited about what’s for dinner!

Whether they’re cooking Summertime Kabobs on a balmy June evening or Sweet and Savory Turnovers for a toasty winter breakfast, families will learn to love the wholesome food—and priceless memories—they can make together.

This delightful book skips over the rhetoric and simply shows how good, straightforward home-cooked food can be fun and delicious. I appreciate the clarity and joy in these pages—and the ease with which Michelle conveys her contagious love of food and family togetherness. Especially important: the recipes are spot-on.
