Autumn Michaelis builds her deliciously inviting debut cookbook, Whole Food for Your Family, with a showcase of dairy- and gluten-free recipes. These practical recipes, with elevated flavors, are based on her popular website Whole Food for 7. Beginning and experienced cooks alike will savor this collection of inventive, easy-to-follow recipes, including revised time-honored staples that follow Michaelis's approach. Whole Food will also appeal to children interested in cooking and gently challenge novice cooks of all ages who want to expand their skills. Concise recipes, many punctuated by lovely photographs and accompanied by useful tidbits on substitutions and side dishes to serve, are well organized, with categories such as Home-Run Kid Favorites, Classics with a Makeover and Lunch Box 101. Down-to-earth favorites include Italian Toss & Bake Chicken, Carrot Fries with Date Chipotle Sauce and Whole30 Potato Salad. --Oline H. Cogdill, freelance reviewer
