It takes more than meat and potatoes to feed a family. In "Mad Hungry", Lucinda Scala Quinn - the mother of three hungry boys, sister of four always-famished fellows, and wife of a guy with a big appetite - shows you winning strategies for nourishing meals that almost cook themselves. "Mad Hungry" offers advice for dealing with those who eat like horses as well as finicky food fussers, and for creating a family legacy of delicious, nutritious home-cooked meals that will be passed on for generations to come. Along with 150 recipes that take you through breakfast, lunch, and dinner (and, of course, dessert), Scala Quinn also muses about life in a predominantly male household and provides sensible advice for feeding your family's spirit as well as filling their bellies.

Lucinda Scala Quinn writes her recipes as if she is talking to you in your kitchen. Very easy to follow and so far the recipes we have tried as a family have proven a hit. Lots of interesting bits of info as well spread throughout the book. An excellent armchair read as well as a kitchen essential.

Don't write it off, girls!

Format:Hardcover
At first pass, I almost overlooked this lovely title BECAUSE of the title. I don't have any children, I don't eat beef and often avoid the heavy and greasy staples associated with men, and my husband is my partner in the kitchen -- not someone I wait on hand and foot. Inside this beautiful book, the reader will not only find a solid collection of easy and delicious recipies, but equal parts useful advice about food, family togetherness, cooking, and auto-biography. Impressive credentials as a Martha Stewart big-wig aside, Lucinda Scala Quinn's food is accessible, familiar and yet inventive, and can be cooked using the budget and pantry of an average American family. This is a handsomely styled book filled with healthful tasty plates equally worthy of a cherished Sunday dinner and harried weeknights that scream for Chinese take-out or pizza.
Scala Quinn is a regular on the PBS show "Everyday Food." Regardless of your gender or how many "men and boys" you have to feed, fans of the show and the magazine will love this collection of 10-ingredient or less recipies that can be simply prepared in 30 - 60 minutes.
The cover art sort of screams at you, but Lucinda Scala Quinn's voice is calm, patient, funny, and real. This is one book you are better off not judging by the cover.

Mad good book

I am a homemaker who cooks for two guys---a husband and 7-year-old son. I received this book as a birthday present three days ago and haven't let it out of my sight since. The advice within---plan ahead of time, don't introduce a lot of new dishes at once, don't be caught without bacon---is right on target. I especially like the emphasis on replacing fast food with home-cooked alternatives---I estimate that Scala Quinn's advice to pack food for car trips saved me $30 this past weekend that would otherwise have been spent at McDonald's.
My guess is that readers who feed women and girls will also derive a lot from this book. It does assume that the reader loves to cook. If you do, and you have guys to feed, this book will be worth its weight in gold to you.

Trust me when I say try these simple delicious recipes. I have been feeding my family and friends on them for 20 years. When you thought your child would not try vegetables, Lucinda's recipes will have them eating up the garden. When you are jammed for time Lucinda has many recipes' that will taste fabulous, using simple ingredients that take no time to prepare and serve. One Love!
