Rose Reisman’s Family Favourites

Healthy Meals for those Who Matter Most

Author: Rose Reisman

“No more frozen dinners or fast food – a healthy lifestyle begins at home”, shouts out the cover flap.

What Toronto’s own wellness guru Rose Reisman has done in her brilliant 18th cookbook is to create more than 270 recipes for quick and nutritious meals that are perfect for your whole family. And, if  you’re a grandparent needing help with what to cook for your grandchildren, there’s an entire section on  Children’s Favourites – but you’ll love them too.

The recipes are, indeed, fabulous. Good food, good ingredients, and each dish is a healthier but as-enjoyable alternative to some of the unhealthy comfort foods to which we often gravitate. You won’t find a deep-fried ingredient here!

But rather than preaching, Rose Reisman shows you how to take charge of your family’s health, and everyone’s well-being in a way that’s easy to understand, and in a way that inspires you to do more for your family’s health. Rose has taken into account hectic family schedules,  gives plenty of healthier eating tips, and focuses on great healthy meals that the family can enjoy as one. This is real-life, no-nonsense advice about how to eat well, and practical guidance on creating realistic meal plans.

The photography is stunning, but there aren’t enough pictures for my liking – I’m a picture-for-each-dish kinda gal. One of the real bonuses though – the high value extra – is the concise nutrional analysis that goes along with each recipe. So, if you’re controlling portions, or counting calories, carbs, fibre or fats, Rose has made it stunningly easy for you. Add to that the estimated prep and bake times, make-ahead tips and a nutrition watch comment with each dish, and this is destined to become a kitchen ‘bible’ for family cooking and entertaining.
