Cook Together, Eat Together
Cook Together, Eat Together (2021) was written by the University of Kentucky, Cooperative Extension Service, Family and Consumer Sciences (FCS) Extension. The book is designed to help families enjoy more home-cooked, healthy meals. Featuring easy recipes for breakfast dishes, soups, vegetables, salads, and one-pot meals, the book lays out a strategy to enable families to spend more quality time together while also preparing foods that are affordable and delicious. In addition, the authors provide a toolkit for lifestyle changes, including budgeting tips, nutrition guides, breakdowns explaining how to evaluate food labels, and even a quick guide to shopping smart at the farmers' market. Each recipe comes with useful information—from preparation tricks that help reduce mess, to ideas for how to use leftovers, all the way to icebreakers for starting fun conversations around the table.
The book incorporates recipes using beef, such as Slow Cooker Beef Stew and Harvest Chili. Cook Together, Eat Together can be purchased directly from the University Press of Kentucky.
