What kind of parents? - A. Summers - Denison, TX
I purchased this cookbook because I have a young child and a picky husband. I was thrilled to find something I could use so dinner time and bedtime were a ways apart. Well, when I got this book, I was very disappointed. I cannot pronounce half of the ingredients and what I can pronounce, I cannot afford to purchase. Aparantly, working parents means doctors and lawyers who have kids. Because no one in my income bracket could ever use these recipes. Plus the recipes I thought I might be able to pull off, both of my eaters turned their nose just to the name and what it was. To me, that's not very kid friendly.
