Great Food for Happy Kids

"I was forever...yearning for a sensible, kid-centric cookbook like this one... The trick here is that the author is not just knowledgeable on the food front, but wise in the ways of kids." - Marni Jackson, columnist for the Globe and Mail and author of Mother Zone

Shortlisted for a Gourmand World Cookbook Award!

This is a cookbook which will give every busy parent fresh and inventive ideas for healthy meals and snacks for their children, from babies through to teenagers. Author Jesse Frayne has distilled her years of experience as the mother of four and a professional caterer into a wonderful book, chock full of recipes and advice on how to tempt the palate of the fussiest child, what to prepare for a summer picnic in a park or at the beach, ideas for kids' birthday parties and after school snacks.

Jesse believes in giving children a wide variety of healthy and fresh food both to eat and to learn to cook themselves. She has culled many of her recipes from her travels as well as from her own ethnically mixed neighbourhood. Great Food for Happy Kids is a book that parents will not just dip into from time to time, but will want to sit down with and read from beginning to end.
