MY REVIEW-I am the main person in our family who cooks. I like to make meals, and spending time in the kitchen is one of my favorite ways to unwind. Not saying it doesn't get hectic:) But I enjoy it. So when I was given the chance to review this next book, Food Family Style, I knew it was one I would like.
My favorite recipe out of it is the Bistro Tomato Basil Soup. I often get this at restaurants and I have searched for a recipe that would taste the same and haven't found one I really liked. Let me tell you, this one is delicious! I made it up for myself and had leftovers.
The main thing I like with this cookbook is the layout. It is easy to read, plenty of fun stories and the font is easy on the eyes. I do wish there were pictures but I can live without that. A lot of my cookbooks don't have pictures but it does make it nicer to see a finished recipe ahead of time. This is a cookbook I will be coming back to often and I have several recipes marked down to try out. Including the Peanut Butter Cookies that only have three ingredients! Talk about easy!! If you are a mother who is trying to find good, easy recipes, this is the cookbook you will want to pick up.
I received a copy of this book for review. I did not receive any monetary compensation. All thoughts are 100% mine.
