In homes around the country, parents are fighting a difficult battle: trying to get their picky eaters to eat healthy foods without ruining family mealtime. We all know that it is critical for kids to develop sound eating habits at a young age to set them up for a lifetime of good health. However, as any time-crunched parent will tell you, it is all too easy to give in to your child’s refusal to eat anything but chicken fingers and French fries. Children’s food expert Annabel Karmel is here to help with over 120 fast, yummy, and nutritious recipes that will tempt even the fussiest eaters.

In The Fussy Eaters’ Recipe Book, Annabel shows how to add fruits and vegetables into child-friendly recipes to boost their nutritional content such as her Bolognese pasta sauce packed with five different kinds of veggies and tastes just like the kids’ menu favorite. Annabel believes that it’s important for kids to learn to actually like healthy meals. An expert on the mind-set of fussy eaters, she provides sound strategies that can coax even the pickiest child to try new foods. You’ll be amazed that salmon, sweet potatoes, and even spinach can develop into foods that your child will want to eat, and before you know it, mealtime will actually be something the whole family looks forward to.

In The Fussy Eaters’ Recipe Book, you will find healthy versions of junk food classics that are simple, easy-to-prepare food and the whole family will enjoy. Also, nutritious snacks to entice even the fussiest eaters and a chapter for gluten-intolerant children. The best part of all delicious and nutrient-packed desserts!
