Review
"Amelia and Jonathon Sawyer are great cooks and great parents and this book is proof of both. They also know what all great food professionals know: that we can change the world for the better by teaching our kids to cook. I couldn't be more excited see this excellent book come into being. And I can't recommend it highly enough." - Michael Ruhlman, author of Egg, Ruhlman's Twenty and The Soul of a Chef
Review
"The thing I have always loved about Jon is everything he does is filled with passion, love, creativity and fun. He approaches cooking like this as well as his family and it shines through in the way he and Amelia raise their wonderful kids. This book is not only a recipe book for families but a story into how their travels and love have shaped their family and I know it will inspire you to share in their passion and experience their journey." - Chef Michael Symon, James Beard Foundation Award-winning American chef, restaurateur, television personality, and author
Review
"There is nothing that sings in the key of joy like a happy child and almost nothing that brings me to a higher plane than a delicious plate of pasta. Chef/dad/genius Jonathon Sawyer has combined the two to create this handbook of tasty euphoria that makes the celebration of the creation and sharing of simple and delightful noodle bound happiness as a family. The ultimate expression of love and collaboration, this book will make you, your kids and their pals (and your childish friends) a happy jubilant choir of yum." - Mario Batali, award-winning American chef, restaurateur, television personality, and author
