I'm glad I gave this book a try. It was a quick, easy read and it kept my interest throughout. You don't read a book like this for its writing style, so even though a lot of it sounded like an accident report put together by an insurance agent, it didn't matter.

Some recipes rely on commercial products that may not be available everywhere, and many of the recipes seem like low-calorie substitutes for fast food fare which makes sense for this family.
