Excellent Recipes for the Entire Family!

I just love this book! As a mother of 2 boys and a Holistic Health Counselor to many families as well as individuals, this book has been a great resource. The recipes are easy to make and delicious. People of all ages enjoy the food and the children are having fun helping to prepare meals. Thank you Chef Bobo for what you are doing in the school and now sharing it with the world at large. I am buying copies for many people and I hope that more people will become aware of your work and that of your assistants.

The best I've seen!

I can't say enough good things about this book. The recipes are quick and easy to make, no hard to find ingredients, and everything I have tried has been good. The whole family enjoys this book. Get this book and you won't be sorry.

A book to introduce finicky eaters to new tastes!

My husband kept his little-boy attitude of "I haven't had it before, I don't like it." I like chinese, italian, thai, morrocan, mexican, persian, you get the idea. My husband likes spaghetti, mac n cheese, chili, and burgers. Until Chef Bobo. Instead of "That smells funny, what is it?" I'm getting "wow that smells good!" Then I'll try something from a persian cookbook and I'll hear "that smells kinda like that Chef Bobo thing you did last week..... I think I like it." YES! Chef Bobo's recipes are good, filling, and healthy. I love the stories around each recipe. And I haven't met a Chef Bobo recipe yet that doesn't pass the ultimate test - it reheats well.
