These recipes are fresh and simple. The meals were easy to make and tasted greatsometimes you don't get both.

Let's get one thing straight right away: I don't cook. I avoid it whenever possible. I'm not good at it. I don't enjoy it. But I just may change my mind, thanks to the me-friendly/kid-friendly cookbook, The Six O'Clock Scramble, from Aviva Goldfarb.

Cool Mom Picks

I absolutely love it! The meals are organized seasonally, so you are buying and cooking produce that is fresh and readily available (and usually affordable). They are all quick and fairly easy. And the kicker? Both of my kids have eaten and enjoyed everything I have made from this cookbook. Do you realize how utterly insane that is? This is a busy mom's lifesaver.

Val, blogger, Nothing, Really

I am a family physican and my wife is an OB-GYN. We are busy, have four children, and feel strongly about doing as much of our own cooking as possible so we can be home and eating by 6:00 p.m. with our children. The Six O'Clock Scramble Web site and great quick recipes make it possible. And even better is that we are eating low-fat, heart-healthy foods that I can recommend to my patients and friends!

Aviva accomplishes quite the feat in her cookbooksproviding recipes that are not only quick and healthy, but also taste amazing. I recommend them in my private practice and use them in my own household. They are some of my favorite recipes and practical feeding resources for families.

Your book is awesome! I have made over thirty different recipes in the book and love all of them (that usually never happens when I buy a cookbook). When I put a meal on the table for my family, the first thing that goes through my mind is What a masterpiece, I made that!

I love to serve home-cooked meals, but I loathe deciding what to make for dinner day after day week after week. So I decided to just cook your bookmeaning I'm just cooking every single recipe. I'm finding we save SO much money this wayI just buy all the ingredients on Sunday night, and then don't have to go to the store again. So we're eating out less, avoiding throwing together expensive last-minute meals, etc. And of course I love how quickly these meals get onto the table.

Kara P., Kirkland, Washington

Your recipes have been a hit every time with my husband and four girls; they are simple, healthy, and, most important, yummy!

Robin D., Cincinnati, Ohio

I love your cookbook! As a working mother of two very young children, this book has been a lifesaver for me in terms of meal planning and preparation. I literally whip everything up in the midst of getting home from work, picking up the kids, and keeping them occupied until we can sit down. Everything I've made has been delicious.

Kara H., Olney, Maryland

Is it possible to fall in love with a cookbook? I've tried a lot of other cookbooks that promise to only take thirty minutes, but this is the first cookbook I've tried that actually delivers on that promise.

Kari K, Beaverton, Oregon

This is the best cookbook I have ever tried (and I have tried a lot!). My picky three-year-old eats it, my gourmet-cooking husband loves it, and I do, too. The recipes are healthy, delicious, and easy to prepare. Yes, you can prepare food fast without it being processed, who knew?
