"My 4-year-old son referred to it as 'the phenomenal noodle salad' and kept offering additional helpings to everyone at the table! I will definitely be making this again. :-)"
-Lindsey Parks
(see Asian Noodle Salad)
"Cooking for my family had become a chore. I was basically in a rut until I came across your site via the OCA. I have actually began enjoying cooking again. My kids are now even trying simple recipes on their own. I feel such a sense of satisfaction knowing I am preparing food that's nourishing and delicious. I have learned so much. Thank you, thank you :)"
-Kaylla
"I must tell you what an inspiration your blog and videos have been to me....and my kids. We love watching you and learning great tips."

"I have been cooking more. I made some really good fried tofu, delicious soba noodles, Bok Choy (from the collard greens vid), Blanched red cabbage, fried rice, some thing else I can't remember, and almost every day for breakfast I eat either quinoa or steel cut oats. Not only that my knowledge on food has increased 10 fold. All thanks to you. xo"

sunbronzedbabe
"Besides providing amazing how-to recipes on whole, organic foods, you weave a gentle little funny-family story-line throughout that always leaves me wanting more. I forward your site to friends with the spoiler, "pssst, bet you can't watch just one!" There's just nothing like your program anywhere!"
Lynne Lillie
"What a really well conceived, and nicely organized website. Being gut-bustingly funny is an added bonus. Nice job, Fam."
Steven Lee
"I've been cooking uninterrupted for the past 3 days and I'm loving it. I watch the videos with my toddler then we cook our family meal together. It's lovely:) Thank you guys for a great book &website."
Yasmine
"Clean, easy to use, and informative, the videos get to the point, and on the plate, in 4 to 8 minutes..." Read the whole glowing blog post!
Maggie Dutton, Seattle Weekly
"This is exactly what I need! The short instructional videos are fun (and funny!) and the food quickly comes together while life happens..I know from her cookbook that (the food) will be healthy AND full of flavor."

"Cynthia must have a great time in life, because she radiated so much joy, excitement and passion in the class she taught. She loves food and she inspired myself and many others in the class to be creative, adventurous and playful while cooking. She is immensely knowledgeable about nutrition, food preparation, and healthy living. I highly recommend any class she teaches. She is entertaining, engaging, and just an all around great person to work with."
--Michael Byrne, N.D.
Thank you so much for the presentation yesterday - I thought it was wonderful and I received many compliments. You have a real gift for communicating your passion for "real food" and I think you inspired a few of us yesterday. You certainly got us thinking - I have never seen such concentration on a message (by my staff)!
--Eric Boutin, Director, Child Nutrition Services, Auburn School District
"Finally! Someone has unlocked the mystery of this critical aspect of athletic performance. Ms. Lair practically assimilates the principles of exercise science and sports nutrition with the soccer-specific demands of training, matches, and tournaments in terms that the average soccer mom, team manager, and coach can easily follow. Tons of practical tips and easy-to-follow meal plans and guidelines make this a must-have for any team, coach, or parent - a truly outstanding effort and the highlight of the 2005 NSCAA Convention!"
--John T.H. Germanos, Technical Director for Neighborhood Youth Soccer League (NYSL)
"Cynthia Lair is a dynamic and knowledgeable speaker, who offers very practical food preparation tips and great insights on the value of eating whole foods. As the Spring 2005 Healthy Aging Lecturer for the de Tornyay Center for Healthy Aging at the University of Washington School of Nursing, Ms. Lair's talk on "Whole Foods and Healthy Aging: How to be a Pickle and Get Livelier with Age" was both well-attended and inspiring!
--Ruth Cochrane, Director of the de Tornyay Center for Healthy Aging at the University of Washington School of Nursing
