Tailoring Your Tastes, concept cookbook.

Eating styles, mealtime patterns and cooking are family culture activities that form lifelong habits. Research indicates that teens cook about twice a week and are often responsible for getting their own food even if it’s not cooking per se. (What!! About Teens, Vol 1, Issue 2, Spring 1995). The family favorite recipes in this book start from existing tastes and provide ways to move slowly to improved levels of fat, fiber, sugar, and salt in foods. We call it the smooth slide to healthier eating that ensures lasting success instead of the big jump that leads to giving up after radical changes. The recipes suggested in the teen journal are easy to prepare and put the teen in the leadership role for healthier eating in the family! Click HERE for details.
