Product Description No one has helped more families find time to fit home-cooked meals into their daily routines than Rachael Ray. Now with the help of Yum-o!, the organization she founded to help kids and adults develop a healthier relationship to food and cooking, she has put together the ultimate family cookbook, which includes recipes that both kids and their parents will love cooking?and eating?together!
Rachael knows that every family wants to make the best possible food choices?and get the very most out of their food-budget dollars. The recipes here feature more whole grains, use less fat, and make the most of fresh fruits and vegetables so they are as good for you as they are delish, and they?re all quintessential Rachael?fun and creative.
You?ll also find notes on how to get even very young kids involved in the cooking process; great ideas for everything from breakfast to the lunchbox to dinner; wholesome snacks; and loads of new double-duty dinners that let you cook once, then eat twice or more.
With lots of full-color photos and tons of helpful tips for making mealtime the very best part of the day, Yum-o! is a must-have for every busy family.
Fun Food for kids and parents December 12, 2008 Through the recipes in this book I have "gotten" my kids to expand their appetites beyond pizza and chicken nuggets. The soups are especially good and very simple to prepare.
Good cookbook like her others that I own October 22, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Frankly, I was quite surprised at the negative reviews on this cookbook. I found it to be a very good one and my kids have liked every recipe I have tried. I think what people have to remember is that when you're making a recipe for the first time, it may take you a little longer than 30 minutes because it's new. As with any of the recipes I've tried by Rachael Ray, it takes me a little longer the first time around. Once I've made it a few times, I'm right at the 30 minute mark. Also, cookbooks are designed to appeal to a wide variety of people - I think everyone will agree that there are recipes in ANY cookbook that you may not like, but someone else will. As far as the ingredients go, I agree that she uses quite a few (maybe even ones people have never used before) but they are used to add to the flavor of a dish. She puts together ingredients that most people may not have thought to put together before and, while one person might say "Gross!!", another will be saying "Yum-O"!!! I think the majority of her recipes are easy to execute - can anyone really say that about Martha Stewart (as referenced in another review)? In any case, I think it's a great cookbook, along with her others that I own (I especially like 365 No Repeats), and would recommend it to anyone.

I was very disappointed in this cookbook. It wasn't anything like I thought it would be. I have another one of her cookbooks that I really like.

Another Win September 7, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book is another win for Rachael Ray. The recipes are well thought out and very kid-friendly. I am a teacher who cooks with 12-13 year olds each week, and although I just got the book, we have already used it more than once. The ingredients are simple, flavorful and colorful and the kids have been loving their finished successes. And--it's all for a very worthy cause!
