Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Late meetings, soccer practice, and not enough hours in the day--how can a family fitza good/smart/solid/worthwhile/hearty breakfast or relaxing dinner into this schedule, much less have it be healthy and delicious? Working parents Jeff and Jodie Morgan show how in this can't-do-without cookbook for moms and dads with busy days, hungry kids, and a desire for family health and harmony. These "kid friendly" recipes are full of fresh ingredients, and most of them can be whipped up in 30 minutes or less. All of them let the chef know what he or she is getting into with prep times and complete, easy-to-follow instructions, including plenty of time-saving shortcuts and ideas for leftover options. It's a near endless supply of ideas for quick breakfasts, weekday lunches, no-fuss dinners, and everybody's favorite: dessert. Parents will find options for the inevitable last-minute school potluck or bake sale that even finicky kids (or adults) will gobble up. With tips on everything from table manners to fast alternatives to processed foods, and helpful lists of essential cooking tools and what to keep in a well-stocked pantry, "The Working Parents Cookbook is the real-world answer when family time is on the menu.

Review:

"Tuna sandwiches and casseroles are staples of American cooking, but, declares Warner, the canned version of the country's 'favorite fish' is much more versatile than many of us realize. In this handsome paperback, the author (a food journalist who's penned more than 20 cookbooks) shows how the tasty and cheap standby can serve as the basis for some unexpectedly elegant meals. She spruces up tuna salad (adding avocados, Tabasco and cumin for Spicy Mexican Tuna, Black Bean and Tomato Salad), riffs on tuna melts (suggesting artichoke hearts and Kalamata olives in Not-Your-Mother's Tuna Melt) and adds verve to tuna casserole (with freshly made cream sauce and tangy lemon in Classy Tuna Noodle Casserole). Warner's ideas for using canned tuna in pasta dishes, sandwiches, soups, antipasti and dips are unique yet simple, and the recipes range in cuisine from Italian to French to all-American. The trick, Warner explains, is pairing good-quality canned tuna with fresh, flavorful ingredients. With color photos, well-rounded introductions to each recipe and simple instructions, this concept cookbook will appeal to cooks of all experience levels."
