The No-Fuss Family Cookbook is a tutorial guide and recipe collection for everyday family-friendly food written by Ryan Scott. Due out 25th May 2021 from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, it's 288 pages and will be available in hardcover and ebook formats.
This book is a nice resource, especially for simple everyday family dinners. The recipes are made with easily sourced ingredients and have a broad appeal for casual cuisine. The recipe section is arranged thematically: breakfasts & baked goods, salads soups & snacks, pasta, dinner, veggies & sides, and desserts.
Each of the recipes includes an introductory description, ingredients listed in a bullet point sidebar (US measurements only), and step by step instructions. Nutritional info is not included. I believe all of the recipes are accompanied by photographs. The photos provided are high quality and clear and serving suggestions are attractive and appropriate. This is definitely a beautifully photographed cookbook.
All in all, very well written, beautifully presented food, made from family friendly ingredients which are easily sourced and taste good.
Five stars, we'll be revisiting this cookbook. For families with young children or toddlers, this one will be especially welcome. There's a lot of appealing finger and bite sized food here.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
