Books by Laurie David

"Studies have ... shown that eating home-cooked meals reduces obesity and develops lifelong healthy eating habits. There is an exciting movement afoot that involves a skillet, a few good knives, and some fresh ingredients: home cooking is making a comeback. In [this book], David inspires parents and kids to take control of what they eat by making it themselves. With her longtime collaborator, Kirstin Uhrenholdt, David offers more than 100 recipes that are simple, fast, 'low in the bad stuff and high in the good stuff,' and designed to bring kids into the cooking process"--

Laurie David, the producer of An Inconvenient Truth, wants to help overwhelmed families sit down to dinner, and provides all the reasons, recipes, and fun ways to do so. Research has proven that everything we worry about as parents -- from drugs to alcohol, to obesity, and academic achievement -- can all be improved by the simple act of eating and talking together around the table. Laurie has written a practical, inspirational, fun (and, of course, green) guide to the most important hour in any parent's day. Chock-fullchapters include: Over 75 kid-approved recipes; tips on teaching green values; conversation starters; games to play to help even the shyest family member become engaged; ways to express gratitude; the family dinner after divorce (hint: keep eating together) and much more. Filled with moving memories and advice from the country's experts and teachers, this book will get everyone away from electronic screens. - Publisher.
