Product Description
How much of the treasure that lies within us--our thoughts and experiences--do we ever bestow on even those closest to us? How do you find the right moment to express the most deeply felt things, or to pass on your family history? This innovative recipe box creates that moment every time it's opened. The first installment in this new Recipes for Living format, Food for Talk gets families and friends talking and sharing, with 200 cards of conversation-starting questions to answer, and quotations to reflect upon. Statistics show that when families talk regularly, kids do better in school and are far less likely to use drugs or engage in other unhealthy behaviors. Food for Talk is the perfect gift to give your own family or a special person to make any occasion extraordinary.

Great family bonding, communication builder February 5, 2008
This box of cards caught my attention while shopping at Barnes and Noble. I bought it and have been enjoying it with my kids for the last 4 months. It has not only helped us to communicate more, but my kids look forward to sitting down at meals as a family to see what question we'll all talk about. This has also encouraged us to talk about our highs and lows of each day which my 6yr old especially loves. I have been divorced for a year now and vowed to make changes with my kids and come up with a way for us to communicate more as a family. "Food For Thought" was an answer to my prayers. I was so happy with this product that I ordered 4 through Amazon and gave them as gifts at Christmas. In our fast paced world that seems to be getting faster, this is a wonderful way to slow down in order to "smell the roses" or better yet, hear your small child talk about his/her feelings for the first time. Enjoy!
 A nice thing to have on your kitchen table. January 7, 2008
I bought this for my family who enjoys hours of good conversation but it is hard to keep the topics new. This product comes neatly in a nice box and the cards are beautifully done with illustrations. Kids and adults can answer these questions. One that was in there that I use almost daily now is "What was the high and low point of your day?" I gave it four stars because I feel some of the questions are a little generic. But having the box on the kitchen table is a conversation starter all by itself when people come over. Overall it made a nice gift for my family.

What an excellent way to bring up important subjects.
This product encourages families to share their values with one another and interact at a deeper level during dinner. We love it! Our daughter, who's almost 5, asks to pick the card every time. Even though, some of the questions are too old for her now she still loves it.

We played this at the dinner table on Thanksgiving. We enjoyed it so much that we were still at table when it was time to break up around 11:30 pm.

I'm learning things about my kids and husband that I would have never guessed. I would highly recommend these conversation cards as a way to learn more about each other in a fun and interesting way. My kids love it!
