The benefits of eating together as a family far exceed good food, and family therapist Fishel here outlines the many reasons why the dedicated family dinner hour should be on everyone's to-do list. Lower incidences of obesity, substance abuse, and greater academic achievement have all been associated with family meals. Yet overbooked calendars, longer working hours, and organized activities mean many of us are either eating on the run or viewing mealtime as mere fuel. Fishel motivates even the most frazzled reader to prioritize this important time of day with tips for getting the youngest chefs involved, recipes with high nutrition and high reward, story and conversation starters, and much more. VERDICT While the significance of the family dinner hour is not new, Fishel focuses on how therapeutic dinnertime can be. She shares accounts of healing, bonding, and communication when families gather together over a meal. While that topic could have been a book in itself, the author goes beyond and demonstrates solid tools and encouragement for implementation. Recommended with gusto.
