From Leah Garrad-Cole, founder of the prominent Love Child Organics
brand of baby and children's foods, comes an all-occasions first book of
recipes and parent-tested advice on how to feed your children wholesome
and delicious foods that the entire family will enjoy.
It All Begins With Food. That's the Love Child Organics motto, a
philosophy that was born of the desire to provide delicious and
nutritious foods for babies and children and to encourage a lifelong
love of healthy eating. Leah Garrad-Cole's cookbook expands on this
mission, providing simple-to-make, healthy recipes for everything from
baby foods to baked goods, and finger foods to family meals. You'll find
inspiration for preparing the everyday essentials--breakfast, lunch, and
dinner--and innovative ways to create healthier versions of processed
foods and celebratory treats for special occasions, as well as tips on
stocking your pantry so you're ready for anything.
Leah's own experiences as a mother and special education teacher have
taught her how and what kids like to eat best. With an unwavering focus
on replacing ingredients that have little nutritional value with ones
that are nutritionally dense, the book includes a range of delicious
recipes, from Cheesy Veggie Mash, Roasted Sweet Potato Fries, Mini Baked
Frittatas, and Chunky Chicken Noodle and Superfood Soup, to Overnight
Strawberry Cocoa Oatmeal, Omega Monkey Milkshake, and Raspberry Vanilla
Heart Cookies. Leah also provides recipes for supermarket favorites,
like Cheesy Little Crackers, allowing families to consume homemade
versions of everyday staples without having to spend too much time in
the kitchen. Her adaptable, easy-going recipes and tips will be
invaluable to anyone with young children.
Packed with vibrant photography, up-to-date information, and practical
advice on how to encourage healthy family eating, this book will quickly
become a go-to guide for cooking with love: of food and family.
