About this item
From the authors of the bestselling cookbook How to Feed a Family and the bloggers behind The Sweet Potato Chronicles comes the cookbook that will help parents navigate the perils of the busy school year, one meal (and snack) at a time. The School Year Survival Cookbook is a fail-proof guide to the calendar-packed time that can break a parent's spirit: the school year. For families, cooking from September to June is about way more than just packing lunch boxes. It's trying to shoehorn a healthy dinner into already tight schedules that go in multiple directions; it's getting everyone fed before the school bus arrives; it's fuelling kids up for soccer practice and figuring out dinner when you get home after the dance recital. This book addresses every major food dilemma parents face during the 300-plus days of the school year, with 110 recipes and road-tested, guaranteed-to-work, effective strategies that will keep families on track even during the most hectic weeks.
About the Author
Hi, I'm Laura. I'm a mom, cookie-addict (chocolate chip, please) and the author of two cookbooks. Before my life was taken over by all things family food, I was a journalist and the beauty editor for Canada's biggest fashion magazine. But then I had my daughter and became obsessed with delicious, healthy, family food so I launched, along with my business partner Ceri Marsh, Sweet Potato Chronicles. We love creating a space where families can come for recipes, strategies and a bit of humor (I mean, come on, cooking of a family is hard so we need to be able to laugh!) . We're constantly thinking of ways to make your time in the kitchen easier and more productive. It's why we created our latest book, The School Year Survival Cookbook, to help you make it through the school year with a pantry that supports you, simple recipes that are healthy and strategies that really work to make your life easier. We promise that it will help get all those school lunches eaten. If it doesn't, then Ceri has to make you dinner AND do the dishes!
