Any Cons?

As with Daulter's other books I felt some of the ingredients for her recipes fall under the "Too expensive for many" category. Cost especially becomes an issue when you consider that some expensive ingredients are used very minimally in a dish, yet you can't buy the ingredient in small amounts. In many cases recipes in this book call for more than a dozen ingredients , which may be overwhelming if you're newer to healthy cooking.

Also, while I did find many recipes in this cookbook that my son would eat, a lot of the dishes are full of stuff that many average kids I know won't eat, for example, blue cheese, cooked onions, Dijon and capers. On one hand, kids should be introduced early on to many foods, so in that respect I like that Daulter doesn't treat kids as if they can't be culinary explorers. Still, if you've got older kids who have grown up on less healthy fare, this may not be the best overall cookbook for your family. The only other con I can think of is that the book itself is not made with 100% recycled content, although it is made with FSC certified mixed sources, which is way better than totally virgin paper.
