From the Publisher
FAMILY FOOD has won two awards at the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards 2003: both Best Book of the Year and Best Children's Cookbook in the World. Quoted by the panel: ''Family Food' should be required reading for all parents, and all chefs or private cooks. It is also the happiest cookbook of the year', and 'This is Blumenthal's first cookbook. The wonderful text is written by Heston Blumenthal with equal respect for food and children. It combines fun, enthusiasm and technique with a deep understanding of children and their expectations. The 3-star chef talks as equals to children and other readers; this is an extremely rare quality. We all are children at heart with food and the kitchen.'
