Family Meals

Creating Traditions in the Kitchen

Overview

From the publisher

For Maria Helm Sinskey — author, award-winning chef, and mother — one of the best ways to spend time with family and friends is to gather in the kitchen to cook. Whether tossing a salad of lettuces fresh from the garden or filling the house with the scent of Banana–Brown Sugar Muffins and hearty Braised Beef Stew, Sinskey and her family show you how effortless it is to have fun in the kitchen.

Sinskey’s experience with her own children and those of friends and family prove that when kids help select ingredients and join in the fun of meal preparation, they’re more eager to eat what they’ve cooked, and revel in their culinary triumphs at the table.

A collaboration with cooking store Williams-Sonoma, Family Meals is much more than just a collection of recipes. Each chapter sparks curiosity about where food comes from and how the foods we love are made through culinary projects such as curing bacon, smoking salmon, and making homemade ricotta cheese.

This book is sure to become a staple in your kitchen, and will launch the small to the tall on a delicious culinary journey filled with fresh, wholesome, seasonal meals that are a joy to create and satisfying to eat.
