The women of the Pollan family collaborate in this collection of 100 recipes, offering three generations of kitchen wisdom and strategies for the return of the family table. An “empowering book” …showcasing the very best Pollan family recipes, these fresh ideas help families achieve the “Common Pot”—a ideal dynamic marked by communal cooking, eating, and laughing together around the family table. From dishes prepared by their mother to Grandpa Max’s love of fresh-grown ingredients and their continued family table tradition, the Pollans find inspiration devising a new routine for the family sit-down meal.

This cookbook doesn’t scream celebrity, yet it’s been compiled by a family well used to fame, whose members include actor Tracy Pollan; her husband, actor Michael Fox; and food journalist Michael Pollan (The Omnivore’s Dilemma, 2006). That modesty serves this culinary collection well. It’s packed with more than 110 healthy recipes, with the underlying philosophy that family dining reigns, or as journalist Pollan says, “Eating the same meal puts everyone on the same emotional page.” …Be ready for pragmatic dishes, with advice peppered throughout….Recipes are infused with health-conscious ingredients and often represent a twist on traditional dishes.

Tracy’s family set a place for me at the Pollan Family Table, over 25 years ago now. This gorgeous book brings to mind so many holiday meals and other family gatherings as well as countless smaller moments when we could have just had a meal on the fly but instead made time to sit together and share. This is what my life tastes like. Enjoy

The Pollans have hit the ball out of the park with their first book, celebrating deliciously simple and poetically tasty food for my family (and everyone else's) to love every day. The shopping lists are easy and concise, the recipes simple and straightforward, and the photographs drive me insane with the urge to sprint first to the market and then to the kitchen and to start cooking right NOW. I simply cannot wait to cook from this book.

This wonderful book shows how good food, simply and seasonally prepared, has the power to bring the family back to the table—and keep them there! Fast food culture has disconnected us from something so basic to human nature, but when we encounter real and tasty food again, it’s like coming home.

This is the cookbook of everyone’s dreams! The Pollan women have written a collection of fresh, delicious recipes that will wow your guests but are simple enough for the busiest weeknight. If you love to find inspiration in cookbooks, you need this in your collection!
