"This is the cookbook of everyone's dreams! The Pollan women have written a collection of fresh, delicious recipes that will wow your guests but are simple enough for the busiest weeknight. If you love to find inspiration in cookbooks, you need this in your collection!" -- Ina Garten, author of the Barefoot Contessa cookbooks "The Pollans have hit the ball out of the park with their first book, celebrating deliciously simple and poetically tasty food for my family (and everyone else's) to love every day. The shopping lists are easy and concise, the recipes simple and straightforward, and the photographs drive me insane with the urge to sprint first to the market and then to the kitchen and to start cooking right NOW. I simply cannot wait to cook from this book." -- Mario Batali "This wonderful book shows how good food, simply and seasonally prepared, has the power to bring the family back to the table-and keep them there! Fast food culture has disconnected us from something so basic to human nature, but when we encounter real and tasty food again, it's like coming home." -- Alice Waters "Tracy's family set a place for me at the Pollan Family Table, over 25 years ago now. This gorgeous book brings to mind so many holiday meals and other family gatherings as well as countless smaller moments when we could have just had a meal on the fly but instead made time to sit together and share. This is what my life tastes like. Enjoy." -- Michael J. Fox "An empowering book and practical guide for home cooks struggling to make healthy and fulfilling sit-down family meals.
