*More than 160 recipes for super-healthy, easy-to-prepare meals--from what to eat during pregnancy to baby's first purees to tasty snacks for teenagers
*What foods can be used to combat common childhood ailments naturally--frequent colds and ear infections; dry skin or eczema; asthma; poor sleep habits
