Recipes also have easy- to-reference labels that note if the meal is ready in 30 minutes or less, allergen-friendly, a good source of key nutrients like iron, make-ahead friendly or a little messy, so you can quickly find the right recipe for what you need. This book truly has it all and will be an invaluable family reference for years to come.
