Overall

The Organic Family Cookbook had very few cons and so far my family has enjoyed every recipe (minus one) in this book. There's a good mix of traditional and experimental recipes and many dishes can be made with affordable, local, in-season items. I loved the vegetarian and snack offerings in this book and the pictures are to die for. My son even had a good time flipping through this book, choosing recipes to make, and he's not one to spend lots of time in the kitchen. The extra tips and advice through the book really pumped up the reading experience as well.

All considered, I'd highly recommend this cookbook for most families I know as it's both lovely and yummy. I don't recommend this cookbook if you happen to have seriously picky kids (as in they eat only cereal and mac n' cheese) and you're not looking to change their habits or if your family is gluten-free.
