"Today's families are going through the biggest social changes in modern history - a revolution in the way we work, live and raise our children. We can see these changes as catastrophic, or we can see them as an opportunity to create something better, a world in which ‘work/life balance' is a reality, not just a catchphrase. But getting there is tougher than many of us ever imagined. We can look to the past for some solutions and the rest we just have to figure out for ourselves. There are no rules or roadmap. We are the new pioneers."

This amazing book is a wonderful and illuminating guide and required reading for all those busy mums trying to do it all.

And as for the pressure cooker:

"Only the pressure cooker has the perfect qualities for today's busy, complicated lifestyles. It's fast. It's clean. It's healthy. It's cheap. It's easy. It's environmentally friendly. With everyone going green and frugal, the pressure cooker's time has come."  Juanita Phillips
