Sharing easy meals for parents and kids, Workman (The Mom 100 Cookbook) is all about flexibility. Each of her 100 new recipes (e.g., berry banana smoothie, Asian rice bowl many ways, lazy vegetable one-skillet lasagna) includes at least one variation and can be adapted to accommodate a range of diets and preferences. Workman sticks mostly to homey crowd-pleasers (tacos, pastas, cookies) and popular proteins (chicken, shrimp) but occasionally forays into more exotic territory, urging families to take a chance on ingredients such as quinoa, tofu, and wasabi. In sidebars, she suggests make-ahead strategies and ways to involve kids in the cooking process.
VERDICT Families can use this practical, mix-and-match recipe collection to lessen the stress of meal planning.
