And to top all that off, author Julia Mueller proves that it can be delicious. With seventy-five recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack time, and even dessert, your whole family will quickly fall in love with kale.

Tons of recipes and decent photos of finished dishes.

Hope to make several dishes out of this with the kale bounty in my garden this summer, but I'll probably just make crispy kale and scrambled eggs with kale over and over again like last year.
