I was primarily interested in this cookbook because even though my family is just two people, we easily eat the portions of double that and I am overjoyed if there are leftovers. So I am on the hunt for nutritious, bountiful, yummy, and interesting recipes that don't ask for too much work.

Actually, this cookbook is "for the whole family" because every recipe includes modifications for a baby and most have ideas for younger kids as well. Many of the recipes have suggestions for making the meal vegetarian, which I think is an added bonus. These recipes are modern, colorful, and flavorful, and the contemporary adult would be proud to use these to serve guests. Like most American household cooking these days, recipes are mostly Southwest, Middle East, or Asia inspired.

A whole section on baked goods and most of the breakfast section is lost to me (gluten allergy, hey-oh), but I am more than game to try some of these other dishes.
