Alongside six kid-friendly recipes, side-bars encourage readers to also experiment and explore outside of the kitchen. A review, glossary, and index make the entire book easy to digest.

Density refers to how tightly packed something is. Think of a milkshake versus a glass of water, or a bowl of thick stew versus a bowl of clear broth. The denser the food, the more it’s going to fill you up.
Feeling a little empty? Wait until you bulk up on some tasty Density Veggie Dressing!
