“I’m not the only cool mom who loves Aviva Goldfarb’s sanity saving cookbooks. There were Cool Mom raves for Aviva’s first book, The Six O’Clock Scramble and also for SOS! The Six O’Clock Scramble to the Rescue, my personal favorite. With her latest, Aviva gives us more than 300 recipes that can each be made in under 30 minutes with 10 ingredients or fewer, making green cooking a cinch. Which is good since we parents already have a few things on our plates that have nothing to do with food.” Read more: ” –Cool Mom Picks: 6 cookbooks that every parent should own, May 2012
