With simple recipes made from ingredients found in any grocery store,
Cyn-Fully Delicious fulfills its original concept of author Cynthia

she helped run the family business, a deli in New Jersey.
The recipes are easy to create and many are quick on preparation time. Each
section, Tempting Tasties (appetizers), Savory Soups, Salada & Sides,
Divine Dinners and Devilish Desserts, provides recipes that taste like
you spent a lot of time in the kitchen preparing without the actual cost and time
involved.

While there are many reasons for teaching kids to cook -- less expensive than eating out, preserves family heritage, etc, the most important
reason is that by teaching your child to cook, you're giving him a better chance to be a healthy grown-up. Enabling your child with the ability
to appreciate freshness and to transform ingredients into tasty foods opens their eyes to making wiser choices about what to eat...
