Maria Helm Sinskey drew upon her experience as an award-winning chef and mother to create this unique cookbook. While her 100 family-friendly recipes can be mastered by cooks young and old, they also reflect the sophisticated palate of a world-class cook. Sprinkled throughout are tips on how to involve the entire family in bringing dinner to the table - from choosing the freshest local ingredients to delegating fun, rewarding tasks in the prep line. Detailed instructions and photos are provided for the recipes, which include basics such as chicken stock and sourdough starter to finished dishes like her overnight cinnamon rolls, extra-cheesy lasagna and braised beef stew. The recipes for tempting desserts are bound to draw the kids into the kitchen. Hardcover, 288 pages. A Williams-Sonoma Exclusive.
