Mad Hungry Family

As those who cook religiously from Lucinda Scala Quinn’s witty, strategy-laden books know, she is a master at producing meals that make people happy. Her recipes are the real deal—no specialty ingredients, expensive cuts, or fussy techniques. And with over 130 recipes, there’s something here for everyone: light fish dishes and inventive salads for mom, roasts and ribs for dad, can’t-go-wrong pasta options for picky eaters, and make-it-in-a-flash veggies, sandwiches, and desserts for always-starving teenagers.

This essential guide to cooking for families is full of survival strategies for nothing-in-the-fridge crises, feeding unexpected guests, getting Thanksgiving dinner on the table before your family revolts, and more. Essays throughout offer informative lessons for cooks at all experience levels, and Scala Quinn’s upbeat “you-can-do-this” enthusiasm assures readers that they have a true friend in the kitchen.
