Three signs you need this book:
1) Chicken fingers qualify as adventurous. (Hey, theyâ€™re not nuggets.)
2) You live in fear of the white stuff touching the green stuff.
3) Family dinner? Whatâ€™s family dinner?
Â
When Jenny Rosenstrachâ€™s kids were little, her dinner rotation looked like this: Pasta, Pizza, Pasta, Burgers, Pasta. It made her crazyâ€”not only because of the mind-numbing repetition, but because she loved to cook and missed her prekid, ketchup-free dinners.Â Her solution? A family adventure: She and her husband, Andy, would cook thirty new dishes in a single monthâ€”and her kids would try them all. Was it nuts for two working parents to take on this challenge? Yes. But did it transform family dinner from stressful grind to happy ritual? Completely. Here, Rosenstrachâ€”creator of the beloved blog and book Dinner: A Love Storyâ€”shares her story, offering weekly meal plans, tons of organizing tips, and eighty-plus super-simple, kid-vetted recipes.
Â
Stuck in a rut? Ready to reboot dinner? Whether youâ€™ve never turned on a stove or youâ€™re just starved for inspiration, this book is your secret weapon.

â€œThis book is for anyone who loves the promise of a home-cooked dinner but gets bogged down by the day-to-day reality of it: picky kids, picky spouses, the extinction of the nine-to-five workday, and the pressureâ€”oh, the pressureâ€”to get it on the table before everyone collapses into a hangry (hungry + angry) meltdown. Which is to say that this book is for me, me, me. And I bet itâ€™s for you too.â€â€”Deb Perelman, author of The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook
