THE FAMILY DINNER COOKBOOK REVIEW AND GIVEAWAY

I received a copy of this book from the hachette book group because I am a member of the Product Review Place.
ABOUT THE BOOK:
The producer of An Inconvenient Truth, Laurie David's new mission is to help America's overwhelmed families sit down to a Family Dinner, and she provides all the reasons, recipes and fun tools to do so.

Laurie David speaks from her own experience confronting the challenges of raising two teenage girls. Today's parents have lots to deal with and technology is making their job harder than ever. Research has proven that everything we worry about as parents--from drugs to alcohol, promiscuity, to obesity, academic achievement and just good old nutrition--can all be improved by the simple act of eating and talking together around the table.

Laurie has written a practical, inspirational, fun (and, of course, green) guide to the most important hour in any parent's day. Chock-full chapters include: Over seventy-five kid approved fantastic recipes; tips on teaching green values; conversation starters; games to play to help even the shyest family member become engaged; ways to express gratitude; the family dinner after divorce (hint: keep eating together) and much more. Filled with moving memories and advice from the country's experts and teachers, this book will get everyone away from electronic screens and back to the dinner table.
This is a beautifully done cookbook, I love how it says "great ways to connect with your kids one meal at a time" on the front cover.
 There are so many recipes I want to try and I love the stories in the book to go along with the recipe's, the book is full of beautiful picture's too, this would make a great Christmas gift for someone special in your life with little kids or a great family gift for you and your kids....

  1. LOL I would love the book...why?? IT WILL NOT be sold here, that's why!! We hardly ever ( well better said...never) find that kind of books here and this would be a very good way to at least have one.

  20. Somehow, since the kids have gotten older (most are teens), we have drifted away from the table; eating there only half the time. I would like to use this to encourage getting back to basics. I like having us all together at least once a night as a guarantee.
