The ChopChop Family Cookbook

This colourful, easy-to-follow, beginner cookbook from ChopChop Family magazine, a James Beard award-winning publication with a mission to get families to cook real food together, features more than 150 recipes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Specially designed to appeal to both adults and kids in budget- and time-strapped families, the recipes include favourites like Overnight Oatmeal, Double Vegetable Fried Rice, Free Form Lasagne, and One-Ingredient Banana Ice Cream, along with simple cooking and meal-prep instructions. The book is packed with inspiring introductions to popular whole foods, such as All About Carrots (or Broccoli or Kale!), kitchen skills, such as How to Chop an Onion or Cook Rice (and why brown rice is better than white rice), Mix & Match charts (sandwiches, smoothies, and beyond), and nutrition sidebar (What are Omega-3's anyway?).

Every page of this rich resource is designed to help families develop the know-how and confidence to cook with whole foods and the many benefits of making and eating homemade meals together.

"I can't say enough good things about the The ChopChop Family Cookbook! It offers kids and families everything they need to start cooking together--delicious and diverse recipes, easy-to-follow instructions, and lots of informative and interesting food facts. The book never talks down to kids or treats recipes like they're set in stone, instead empowering young chefs to experiment and improvise after they've mastered basic skills. I can't think of a better cookbook to teach this important life skill, setting children up for a lifetime of healthy, happy eating."--Bettina Elias Siegel, author of Kid Food: The Challenge of Feeding Children in a Highly Processed World
