Everyone knows by now that kids don't necessarily have the healthiest diets and that parents have the biggest impact in terms of shaping their child's attitude towards food. The idea behind Superfoods: For Babies and Children is that you can make interesting, healthy meals for your kids that will incorporate all the healthy things you want them to have into food that they want to eat. The author, Annabel Karmel, is not only a mother of three, but the author of 14 other bestselling cookbooks that specialize in food for kids. There are 130 recipes that use foods like broccoli, tomatoes, blueberries and carrots, sometimes incorporating them in sneaking ways, like grating veggies into sauces where they can't be easily seen. The book also has charts and tips than can help a busy parent plan meals in advance, preparing and freezing them when there is time, which means that there will be fewer meals that might end up with mac and cheese as the main course.
