Customer Reviews

Great find, great service!

Had this book years ago and was looking for a copy. I was hesitant to buy online, however, this was a great experience, great packaging, wonderful product! Recommend heartily.

Great for kids of all ages!

I've had my copy since it was first published, about 30 years, & just bought a copy for a young mom I know. Really assists in making good food choices regardless of age. My first husband was a real ding-dong addict & this helped to eliminate that, adding in nutritious calories instead of empty ones. A must for every parent, grandparent or those who just want to increase the nutritional value of what they consume. The baking additive recipe alone is worth the money, a real bargain!

Simply great, practical book for making family food.

I originally bought this book because *I* am the CANDY monster in my family. My kids are nearly as bad. The book is great for for the whole family, with practical, easy-to-make and delicious recipes. I've been a big Lansky fan ever since I became a parent and started getting her books from the library. This one is probably the best one I've read to date, with concise, humorous, and informative passages and tried and true food ideas. Highly recommended!
