I love this cookbook and the stories and photos make it very appealing! I have made 4 recipes so far and want to make everything. I am giving it a 5 star rating with the caveat that you have to realize that these are “comfort food” recipes from the 60s and 70s....similar to the things I made for my kids growing up. Today we cook differently....less fat, sugar, salt, carbs, and cholesterol. I will use these recipes with some substitutions for certain items to make them healthier...e.g., frozen peas and carrots instead of canned; less sugar than called for; no flour at all in the zoodle pie(not needed, the flour makes it “heavy”); a pie crust instead of bisquick biscuits in the chicken pot pie, low fat milk, not half and half, etc. The recipes can still be delicious with healthier substitutions. I want to make everything in the book.....and yes, occasionally I will use the less healthy ingredients(!!!!) I still give it 5 stars because I love the stories.....takes me back to the same era as Steve and his family. The recipes are much like the ones I used for my kids! It takes me back! This is a great gift and I plan to buy a few more!
