Yum-o! The Family Cookbook

By Rachael Ray

No one has helped more families find time to fit home-cooked meals into their daily routines than Rachael Ray. Now with the help of Yum-o!, the organization she founded to help kids and adults develop a healthier relationship to food and cooking, she has put together the ultimate family cookbook, which includes recipes that both kids and their parents will love cooking–and eating–together!

Rachael knows that every family wants to make the best possible food choices–and get the very most out of their food-budget dollars. The recipes here feature more whole grains, use less fat, and make the most of fresh fruits and vegetables so they are as good for you as they are delish, and they’re all quintessential Rachael–fun and creative.

You’ll also find notes on how to get even very young kids involved in the cooking process; great ideas for everything from breakfast to the lunchbox to dinner; wholesome snacks; and loads of new double-duty dinners that let you cook once, then eat twice or more.

With lots of full-color photos and tons of helpful tips for making mealtime the very best part of the day, Yum-o! is a must-have for every busy family.

Reviews for Yum-o! The Family Cookbook

I really wanted to like this cookbook, but the recipes (to me) were just horrible. Nothing tasted as I expected it to, and I was quite disappointed. I don’t get the hype at all. I went in with a lot of optimism, but I’ve found far better recipes on Allrecipes and the like.

Very much enjoyed this one! I found the overall graphics of this book's design to be a lot easier to read, and having the recipes be a bit more exacting than they normally are. Already tried one of the recipes in it, toned down or eliminated the hot stuff, and it was delish!
