Rose Reisman's Family Favorites
Healthy Meals For Those Who Matter Most
By Rose Reisman

No more frozen dinners or fast food!
Lifestyle begins at home…

“With the recent statistics on obesity rates in North American children, and news that our children’s generation are still likely to be less healthy than ours, it is becoming increasingly clear that one of the challenges in improving our diets is not lack of information, we “know” too much already! I firmly believe the answer is in doing. All we have to do is get back to the kitchen, and get our families back to the table to eat, which should be one of the basic rights of any family. In Rose Reisman’s Family Favourites, I wanted to put together a primer for parents, so that we can all re-learn the basics of nutrition and meal management, within the challenges of today’s challenging environment. The change must come from individuals, one kitchen at a time.” - Rose Reisman.

In her latest book, Rose Reisman offers over 270 practical recipes for quick and nutritious meals that are perfect for any family, without compromising taste. With no-nonsense advice on how to eat well, guidance on creating realistic meal plans and nutritional analysis accompanying each recipe, this book will help all Canadians take charge of their family’s health.

From packing wholesome school lunches to making light desserts, Rose shows how to juggle hectic schedules and still make great healthy meals that families can enjoy, together. Coupling these perfect meals with recommendations for healthy choices when eating out, and the inside scoop on health fads, diets, and packaged food, will ensure positive choices guaranteed to improve individual and family health!

Rose Reisman, award winning entrepreneur and mother of four, has been celebrated as one of Canada’s leading authorities on the art of eating and living well. Rose is a registered nutritional consultant from the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition and holds a BA and MBA from York University as well as a B.Ed. from the University of Toronto. She began writing cookbooks in 1988 and soon realized that her own, personal quest for healthy eating and living was part of a much larger movement. This became obvious when her 1993 cookbook, Rose Reisman Brings Home Light Cooking, sold over 400,000 copies. Now, 15 years later, Rose has written numerous columns, more than 16 cookbooks promoting healthy eating and living and has created the entire health conscious menu at the restaurant "Glow" at the Shops at Don Mills as well as seasonal menus for the Pickle Barrel restaurant chain. Rose is the spokesperson for Breakfast for Learning, the leading national non-profit organization solely dedicated to child nutrition programs in Canada. BFL helps empower communities to start and sustain child nutrition programs to enhance learning and healthy development of children and youth as well as supporting ongoing research and child nutrition education that demonstrates the link between proper nutrition and learning. www.breakfastforlearning.ca Rose Reisman will be visiting and touring Vancouver, Calgary and Toronto in April. www.artoflivingwell.ca
