Review
A philosophy of moderation and common sense that fosters good health, good eating habits and, most of all, a loving relationship between parents and children. -- The Washington Post
A uniquely comforting, now-I'm-on-the-right-track approach... warm, sensible, professional and expert advice about what is, after all, a universal set of situations. -- Family Journal
I am going to try your recipe for Yellow Spaghetti, which will give me an opportunity to revisit bacon, a banned food item for longer than I can remember. I appreciate your good-humoured and thoughtful work. -- Recovering Enthusiast
I love your book and I am having so much fun planning menus and learning to cook! I have never planned menus unless I was on a diet, but I am now and I am enjoying my food and feel safe because I know what is coming next. -- Recovering Dieting Casualty
It's wonderful when she says, "the secret of feeding a healthy family is to love good food, trust yourself and share that with your children." Encouraging people to eat well is far better than laying on all the rules. -- Nutrition Educator
When Satter says, "a family is what you are when you start taking care of yourself," it makes it OK to go to the trouble of feeding myself. Secrets was written for me, as well as for people with children. -- Reviewer --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Book Description
Ellyn Satter's Secrets of Feeding a Healthy Family takes a leadership role in the grassroots movement back to the family table. More a cooking primer than a cookbook, this book encourages singles, couples, and families with children to go to the trouble of feeding themselves well. Satter uses simple, delicious recipes as a scaffolding on which to hang cooking lessons, fast tips, night-before suggestions, in-depth background information, ways to involve kids in the kitchen, and guidelines on adapting menus for young children. The book demonstrates Satter's dictum that "your positive feelings about food and eating will do more for your health than adhering to a set of rules about what to eat and what not to eat."

Put the pleasure back in mealtime,
By Poorquilter "poorquilter" (Churchville, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Secrets of Feeding a Healthy Family (Paperback)
If you've been grappling with the Food Pyramid for the past 20 years, this book will put the pleasure back in mealtime, eliminate guilt, and get you back in touch with your own feelings of hunger, satiety, and fullness. Have you ever noticed how people who are worried about their own health are no fun, and often less healthy than those with a more relaxed attitude? Read this book, relax, and enjoy your food!

Essential,

This review is from: Secrets Of Feeding a Healthy Family: Orchestrating and Enjoying the Family Meal (Paperback)
I was reading in the other reviews that this is "common sense". I disagree that it is common sense, because it is sense that is often lacking and that is why we NEED to read this book. I wasn't expecting any earth-shattering, but it was. I realized that I was not allowing myself to enjoy the food that I ate and by cheating myself of that enjoyment, I would overeat to compensate. At 33, I thought that I was buying a book to help me feed my kids (and it is), but I got WAY more!

Learn to eat!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Secrets of Feeding a Healthy Family (Paperback)
This is an excellent primer for parents (and maybe even just young singles or couples starting out on their own) who need help with basic feeding skills like cooking and grocery shopping. Ellyn Satter's advice is always very down-to-earth and her attitude toward food is relaxed. Where else would you find a Registered Dietitian recommending a menu of hot dogs, potato chips, and ice cream?? (Of course, not ALL her menus are like this, because she really understands the concepts of balance and moderation, which are so sorely lacking in these diet-crazed times.) An excellent companion to "How to Get Your Kid to Eat...But Not Too Much,' both of these books speak to nutritionally-challenged adults as much as they do to children.
