In this riveting and beautifully-written book,
​Sarah Bowen, Joslyn Brenton, and Sinikka Elliott take readers into the kitchens of nine women to tell the complicated story of what it takes to feed a family today...

​Food is at the center of national debates about how Americans live and the future of the planet. Not everyone agrees about how to reform our relationship to food, but one suggestion rises above the din: We need to get back in the kitchen. Amid concerns about rising rates of obesity and diabetes, unpronounceable ingredients, and the environmental footprint of industrial agriculture, food reformers implore parents to slow down, cook from scratch, and gather around the dinner table. Making food a priority, they argue, will lead to happier and healthier families. But is it really that simple? ​
