Here I was, researching books on the subject of natural, whole foods and the family and I completely overlooked this book! A dear friend gave me an old copy, printed in the 1980s, of Whole Foods for the Whole Family, by the La Leche League publishers. Although humble in appearance, this 900-recipe book is a treasure trove of whole foods real families cook and eat. So far I’ve prepared quite a few dishes, but my favorites so far are the absolutely delicious pumpkin muffins and African Chicken Stew. The recipes are easy to follow and make you feel confident if you’re in unchartered territory. When I read how easy it seemed to make butter (I know, you read that right: butter!) I’m inspired to try! It’s easy enough to get cream — either skim it off the top of your whole milk or buy it in cartons at the grocery store. With 900 recipes you’re sure to find many favorites. Whole Foods for the Whole Family even includes two pages on introducing solid foods to your baby. All in all, a gold mine of recipes for your family. Thank you, Sue!
