Very good for families.... 
by .. kwisin (Southern California)
This book is great for my family. I am a working-married mother of 3 school aged children. Our nutritionist recommended this book because my son had stomach issues and we had to bring his weight down. We got tired of making chicken breast and broccoli. blah.. I was pleasantly surprised that my kids have liked (almost) every single meal we have made. The chicken chili is amazing. The kids favorite are the (turkey) rice mice. They enjoy eating the carrot ears and olive eyes. Not every recipe had a picture next to it. I wish they would've because I like to see what I am cooking in the book. There is also great information about body image for kids and how to manage weight issues for children as well. I mainly bought the book for the recipes and have not been disapointed. Our favorite dessert is by far the pumpkin muffins. They are unbelievable. I hope you enjoy.

I am very disappointed in this book. It is filled with ingredients that no one in my family would come near (hummus, tofu, Swiss chard, jicama, zucchini, eggplant, curry, etc.) and we are pretty health conscious. The ingredients are also expensive and/or hard to find (prosciutto, arugula, low-sodium baked Virginia Ham, pancetta, coconut milk, artichoke hearts). Had I browsed this book before purchase, I never would have spent the money. It's a waste! Seriously, would your little kids eat Curried Sweet Potato Soup, Swiss Chard Pizza, Ginger Beef Stew, Lamb & Eggplant, Chicken in Coconut Curry Sauce, Moroccan Turkey Tangine, Tabbouleh, Sushi Shrimp Rolls, Teriyaki Tempeh Kabobs, Mushroom Lasagna (no tomatoes in this recipe), or Indian-Spiced Lentils? From the first recipe -- Edamame Dip -- to the last -- Pomegranate Granita -- the recipes are bizarre and gourmet -- much too sophisticated for kids. Maybe teenagers would like some of it, but we need to get kids eating decent food earlier than teen-age. I really couldn't find anything that any child I know would touch. Okay, the little meatloaves that looked like mice were pretty cute -- but I can do that without a recipe. I know how to use lean ground turkey. The photographs of the food are not even appealing. The only value I see in this book is the humor. We read through the recipes and laughed. In my first read-through (I don't think I'll pick it up again) I found nothing to indicate that any children tried any of these recipes. I'm sure my grandchildren wouldn't. Come on, Weight Watchers! Give us a little help here. Anyone can make healthy food the kids won't eat.
