The Mom 100 Cookbook
100 Recipes Every Mom Needs in Her Back Pocket, Regular Version
1 of 1 copy available
Katie Workman, founding editor in chief of Cookstr.com and mother of two school-age kids, offers recipes, tips, techniques, attitude, and wisdom for staying happy in
the kitchen while proudly keeping it homemade—because homemade not only tastes best, but is also better (and most economical) for you. The Mom 100 is 20 dilemmas every mom faces, with 5 solutions for each: including terrific recipes for the vegetable-averse, the salad-rejector, for the fish-o-phobe, or the overnight vegetarian convert. “Fork-in-the-Road” variations make it easy to adjust a recipe to appeal to different eaters (i.e., the kids who want bland and the adults who don’t). “What the Kids Can Do” sidebars suggest ways for kids to help make each dish.

For mothers juggling careers and their own personal lives, Workman offers this helpful guide to cooking nutritious meals for the entire family, even with picky young eaters in mind. Workman, founding editor-in-chief of Cookstr.com, presents all this in a witty, accessible cookbook that offers 100 staple recipes ideal for families, including Monday Night Brisket, Broiled Miso Cod Fingers, and Grilled Pizzas. She provides easy alternatives to her basic recipes and includes notes on how children might participate in the cooking process. She suggests ways to introduce new foods, such as with simple chicken fingers: there's a quick preparation, which the next time can be prepared crispier, then topped and baked with mozzarella and marinara for chicken parmigiana. To get kids to try new foods in, say, sautéed spring vegetablesâhave them help snap off the ends of beans. Workman interjects plenty of humor in her cooking, and that helps elevate this volume above the average cookbook. Photos. -

Workman (editor in chief, www.cookstr.com) presents her top 100 recipes moms can turn to for feeding the family--she claims that in most houses, "the mom is the cook." With a lighthearted tone, this cookbook is a welcome resource for the possibly harried parent. "Fork in the Road" notes include ideas for "picky palates," and there are also tips like using no-boil lasagna noodles, making things ahead, and involving kids in the process. The nice stockpile of recipes features standards like macaroni and cheese, meatloaf, and lasagna, along with such dishes as Chickpea Poppers and Broiled Miso Cod Fingers. Workman also advocates for a well-stocked pantry to help out in a pinch. VERDICT This solid source of recipe ideas is good for anyone cooking for a family.
