Meine Rezepte Für Familie Und Freunde (German Edition) (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
This is an amazing cookbook! Its focus is whole-type foods with practical and easy-to-find ingredients. The dishes are also simple to prepare at a pretty minimal price. The recipes range from basic (vegetable stock, tomato sauce, chive viniagrette), to more elaborate (lots of duck dishes). You can sense in its pages that Gwyneth "gets it"; she understands that while many moms are trying to prepare healthier foods for our families, sometimes it's just not entirely possible. So she includes kid-friendly food, and tolerates the reader's substituion of pork for turkey bacon. I can't wait to get started with some of these...especially her corn chowder recipe! I will be buying this with my birthday money next month! Okay, okay, Gwyneth Paltrow is insufferable. She just can't see why everyone can't buy organic kamut flour and have their own wood fired ovens. But, you know, this is a great book. She's got some awesome recipes and, while out of touch with a middle-income majority, at the very heart and soul of this book is a well-intentioned woman and a great message: eat with your family. Involve your kids in the process- the picking out of vegetables, the cooking. Sit down to dinner. And it IS important. If your kids feel like they're a part of the process they will be more likely to eat well, which has long reaching positive consequences for their upbringing. Families who eat together are stronger and the kids are better adjusted. Whether you use vegenaise (Paltrow's favourite alternative) or mayo, this is a good book of surprisingly easy, down-to-earth, and delicious recipes. Highly recommended.
