SOS! The Six O'Clock Scramble to the Rescue: Earth-Friendly, Kid-Pleasing Dinners for Busy FamiliesThis is an unbelievably good cookbook.

And, critically, the recipes are so successful that we have already adopted several as household staples- and we're still in the first couple weeks of using the cookbook.The only, relatively minor, caveat is that Ms. Goldfarb's children are clearly better at eating certain foods than mine are.

At the beginning of each 'season' every recipe is indexed by page number so you can easily flip right to it.2. Side dish recipes are now included in each recipe, instead of having to flip to the back of the book3. Very helpful side-bar articles and tips (and very up to date -... | 6 | |

| Author: W. Z. Bloch (Northern VA.. | I've cooked several things from this book and they've been delicious. I swear the author has special skills: even dishes I don't think the kids will like they love. It is scary! Thank you so much for a fabulous cookbook.How about doing a breakfast and lunch cookbook? | 6 | |
