I really love this book for various reasons. What initially turned me on to it was the recepies and the variations GENIUS.... What's more the recipes are currant and hip and are what I am used to eat when I go out and not recycled. LOVE the tips and the real mothers stories. The Intimacy the author created by sharing herself and the other mothers stories gave such a personal atmosphere I felt very cozy as if this book was written just for my needs.
I am a second time mother and finally there is a book that is written by a Mother to a Mother who knows what it is to be pregnant and not by some professional PHD or some nutritionist, I like that.
On my first child I ate everything I wanted and it took me a some time to get back to my pre weight. Although I am not a big cook, I am this time around going to cook more and watch my weight with moderation and truly feel this book is a good companion.. My daughter LOVED the Jam dot cooies. They were easy to make healthy and she gobbels them up, its a great snack for all of us. My husband was really impressed with me (actually so was I) when I did the herb roasted chiken. Once again It was easy to make, and was delicious. I also did the variation of a few as well, it was great, made me feel that I can actually do this and also that I can cook....
