Emily Franklin's highly original and sweetly funny memoir follows a year in the life of a family through the meals they eat together. It shows what happens when you mix the mayhem of motherhood with the chaos of cooking with four kids.
Good food is an important aspect to Emily's life--one she wants to share with her children. Prior to her life as a writer and mother‚ Emily was a chef on historic yachts and luxury boats‚ cooking for crowds of up to fifty people in a galley kitchen smaller than a shower stall. Surely cooking for her children would be less of a challenge. Right? What she finds‚ as a full-time mom‚ is cooking for one picky child can be more stressful than for fifty on the rolling seas!
TOO MANY COOKS is not a cookbook‚ though it contains recipes. The author attempts to create happy‚ healthy eaters without tricks (if you puree vegetables and add them to brownies‚ all you're really doing is getting your kids to like brownies‚ which they probably already do). Filled with mouthwatering dishes that range from mummy nuggets to wild coho salmon‚ Emily seamlessly weaves recipes into her stories about the joys‚ anxieties‚ humor‚ and togetherness of the universal experience of eating together.
