One of the most formidable pleasures of cooking fine food is the enjoyment of sharing it all with your loved ones. FAMILY TIME, my newest cookbook, builds on the strengths of “Cooking With Love” by suggesting new ways to bring the family back to the dinner table.This is how it was some years ago! This book explores exciting new variations on traditional, everyday recipes while at the same time trying to re-engage children and their parents in the special joy and fun of cooking, eating and drinking together.

Family Time will most certainly encourage youngsters to forget the “fast food” craze and urge them to enjoy the creativity and fun of cooking together. Eating this delightful food will bring forth pride to each family member. A most laudable idea in this busy, hustle and bustle world we live in.

“This book has recipes along with expert tips and wine pairings that will tinder the desires of everyone to re-explore the joys of cooking and eating together!”

“Ruth’s new book shows how everyday ingredients in your refrigerator and pantry can awaken kids of all ages to bond together and finally return to the dinner table!”
