The Working Parents Cookbook -- Late meetings, soccer practice, and not enough hours in the day -- how can a family fit a good/smart/solid/worthwhile/ hearty breakfast or relaxing dinner into this schedule, much less have it be healthy and delicious? Working parents Jeff and Jodie Morgan show how in this can't-do-without cookbook for moms and dads with busy days, hungry kids, and a desire for family health and harmony. These "kid friendly" recipes are full of fresh ingredients, and most of them can be whipped up in 30 minutes or less. All of them let the chef know what he or she is getting into with prep times and complete, easy-to-follow instructions, including plenty of time-saving shortcuts and creative suggestions for leftovers. It's a near endless supply of ideas for quick breakfasts, weekday lunches, no-fuss dinners, and everybody's favorite: dessert. Parents will find options for the inevitable last-minute school potluck or bake sale that even finicky kids (or adults) will gobble up. With tips on everything from table manners to fast alternatives to processed foods, and helpful lists of essential cooking tools and what to keep in a well-stocked pantry, The Working Parents Cookbook is the real-world answer when family time is on the menu.

Jeff and Jodie Morgan are working parents who juggle the demands of their careers and their two daughters, Skye and Zoe. They live in St. Helena, California, where Jeff is a food and wine writer and Jodie is a self-taught cook and social worker who designs programs for women, children, and families.
