Picture the kind of evening that happens in households across every income bracket. Six-thirty. Two parents who both work full-time jobs. Two children, ages five and eight. One household. Two cuisines being prepared in parallel. Chicken nuggets shaped like dinosaurs heating in the air fryer for the kids. Grilled chicken on the hob for the adults. Two sets of dishes. Two meal-prep sessions. Ninety minutes in the kitchen by the time everyone has eaten, and the children have absorbed the lesson that adult food is a category they do not belong to.
That is the entire problem this cookbook is built for.
