Learn to eat!

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.

Great recipes, great tips, great advice

It's so easy to get in a rut when you are trying to feed your family. Same few dishes, same old fights with the kids. Who has time to try new cooking techniques? Ellyn Satter does, and you can benefit, whether you have kids at home or not. Dip in anywhere. The recipes are simple and tasty. More importantly, this dietitian with a difference is no food Nazi. Her philosophy is positive and enthusiastic: all food is good. Forget the food prescriptions, dump dieting, and "lighten up." She says: "The secret of feeding a healthy family is to provide yourself with enjoyable food and trust yourself to eat as much as you need. Then do the same for your child." Buy it, read it, try it. You'll feel a lot lighter when you let your eating guilt go.

Very helpful in getting ideas.

This book is helpful in showing you that you can eat healthy and it can taste good too. I use some of her ideas but change them to make them healthier. I do nt use butter in cooking or oils for that matter much at all. I keep it inmy kitchen drawer with my cookbook. She puts things in perspective when you are getting overloaded with information. Down to earth and realistic.

Lots of great tips for cooks new and old...

This book covers it all! The "role" of food in our lives and family, planning meals, shopping tips, great fruit and vegetable options, cycle menus, grocery lists, etc. I recommend this to new moms, young adults moving out on their own, and anyone feeling frustrated with constant trips to the grocery store! E. Satter really does provide some excellent secrets to managing the whole "feeding the family" process. I have tried out some of her techniques, which was hard to do because I had been doing it my way for so long, but it was worth it! Meal planning, shopping, preparation was definitely less stressful. My only objection is that this book is not written with a cookbook format. You have to sit down and really read it. I wouldn't buy it just for the recipes. Overall, very informative. I just wish there were more recipes included, and more menu ideas, because after reading it once, that's what I would refer back to the most.

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. In chapters about eating, feeding, choosing food, cooking, planning, and shopping, the author entertainingly helps readers have fun with food while not eating unhealthily or too often. She cites current studies and makes a convincing case for lightening up on fat and sodium without endangering ourselves or our 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.?
