Book Description

3 May 2007
How do we know that every mum will love these recipes? How do we know that children will want to eat them? Because the recipes come from members of netmums.com - the online community of 250,000 mothers from all over the country recently described by the Sunday Times as 'the new Woman's Institute' - and all have been tried, tasted and passed the three great tests:
ONE: They are easy to prepare and cook, and don't cost too much.
TWO: They are nutritious and fit easily into a healthy diet.
THREE: They made the children who tried them happy. Plates were left clean and the dishes were asked for again.
In response to the huge demand for information and advice on feeding children, here are 120 delicious recipes and hundreds of food tips from Netmums nationwide.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book has changed my life 24 Aug 2007
Format:Hardcover
I am honestly not exaggerating when I say that this book has changed my life and has transformed my children's diet. I am mum to four children aged 7 months to 5 years and have had to battle with fussy eating for some time now. Our children were determined to turn into the anti-veg and anti-meat brigade, surviving on a diet of bread and baked beans. I was quickly running out of ideas as to what to cook for them, having tried many other cookery books aimed at children and fussy eating ... until I came across this one. Absolutely brilliant! The recipes are all that busy mums are looking for: simple (they do not take half a day to prepare), tasty (my children ask for second helpings) and healthy (plenty of suggestions for hiding extra veg and how to make food more nutritious without sacrificing taste and turning meals into "weird" health guru projects).

At last a book that combines simplicity with taste and good nutrition. This book delivers what it promises.

5.0 out of 5 stars Already the most used cookbook on my shelf! 18 May 2007
Format:Hardcover
I'm loving this book and I've only had it a couple of weeks. The recipes are easy to follow - my 6yr old made the rock buns all by himself! - and there are some great variations and tips underneath each recipe giving you in actuality much more than the 160 recipes the title says.

Some tasty vegetarian recipes in there too and very handy ideas for what to put in a school lunch box or take on a picnic.

I think I could wax lyrical all day but I've got to take my carrot cake from the oven!

5.0 out of 5 stars At last! A children's cookbook I can use. 15 May 2007
Format:Hardcover
I've got lots of books on my bookshelves aimed at feeding kids. But this is the only one I can say I will actually use regularly. The difference is - Feeding Kids has lots of normal, every day recipes - the kind of food I used to eat as a child - lasagne, shepherd's pie, omelettes, pasta bakes and casseroles. I like the nutritional notes, and the variations under many of the recipes means that you can vary them to suit your child and maybe sneak in a few more veggies if you dare!

5.0 out of 5 stars Loads of inspiration and very easy to use 15 May 2007
By Emmylou
Format:Hardcover
Although 2 of my children aren't faddy eaters I often find I run out of inspiration and tend give them the same old thing. This book is great, it has loads of very very easy to cook recipes that are quick and simple to prepare. The book has even been a hit with my fussy eater and she has made a few of the recipies herself already (we have only had the book a couple of weeks. A really useful book from a great website. :) Oh - one more thing - for the price I thought it would be a soft covered book, but it has a really good quality hard cover - it might even survive my chaotic kitchen!

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy Family Dinners 7 Jun 2007
Format:Hardcover
A faboulous book filled with really 'cookable' meals that can be easily adapted depending on what you have in the house. For once we are all sitting down as a family to eat rather than cooking seperate meals to be eaten at different times! Hightly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to read and easy to follow 13 May 2007
Format:Hardcover
I would love to be a domestic godess but time is short and the childen are picky!! - this however is at least helping me go in the right direction. It is easy to read and all the recipes I have done have been easy to follow - and more importantly the children love them. The recipes are normal family food so there is no need to buy any special ingredients and none of the faffing about cutting out rabbit shapes and things that you sometimes get with children's recipes. I like the nutrional "traffic lights" on the recipes which are easy to understand. The style of writing is really friendly and there are lots of tips from Mums, from the netmums website I think, which make it seem more realistic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic! 22 Oct 2007
Format:Hardcover
I love this book. I never appreciated beforehand that I would need to learn to cook more than a frozen pizza after having a baby and so its been a steep learning curve. From when my son turned about 10 months and I brought this book he has only eaten homecooked family meals. There are loads of great recipies and plenty of advice on nutrition and I always find I have enough for my husband and I plus at least 4 toddler size portions to stick in the freezer. I have recommended it to all of my friends.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great, simple book 29 Nov 2007
Format:Hardcover
This is a great book with simple, economical recipies which are aimed at children but great for adults too. The best recipie so far is the quick cheesecake - good enough for an emergency dinner party pudding. Unlike some family cookbooks on the market at the moment the ingredients are all accessible and mostly cupboard basics. I would definatly buy this book over the others on the market at the moment aimed at children/families(of which I have too many going dusty!)

If you really need help with the basics this is a great book for you. I already have Annabel Karmel's book and found it more helpful. But still very useful.
