Product Description
With bookshops full of 'family-friendly' recipe books, what do you if your child won't even touch a tomato, let alone have one on their plate? Fussy eating is the bane of many parents' lives and is an age-old problem. Fiona Faulkner, also known as the 'Toddler Chef', reveals the tricks and recipes that have transformed her own children's eating habits and those of countless others at her popular workshops. Her techniques allow children to experiment with food at their own pace - and with a relaxed and fun attitude. The 25 foods chosen are those that many children (and consequently parents!) struggle with - from pulses to spinach to fish. Each 'food' has information on why you should be eating it, how to introduce it, recipes, tips and tricks as well two deliciously simple recipes. A 'gourmet for grown-ups' feature for each recipe also shows how you can adjust the recipe to appeal to more adult tastes. "25 Foods Kids Hate" offers a humorous and down-to-earth approach - with recipes and techniques that actually work.

Format:Hardcover
The title of this book is rather over-optimistic, but I love the style, optimism, and general message which come through. This is more than a recipe book, the early sections offer advice, encouragement and different strategies, and these I feel are the best bit about the book.
The first section is filled with hints, tips and basic common sense which Fiona has structured as `The 25 Rules', many of which will be very familiar to Mums - grow your own, or pick your own, don't use food as a bribe or a punishment, set an example; some of which are reassuring - it's a natural phase, persevere; and some of which are new - become a marketing guru; use the distraction technique (getting kids to eat healthy foods whilst engaged in other activities), and change the scenery.
The core of the book is recipes for 25 frequently challenging foods to make with the children. The foods range from tomatoes, potatoes, through cauliflower to lentils and legumes. Fiona encourages full involvement of the children - helpfully indicating with an amusing `splat' icon how trashed your kitchen will look at the end of the session! She also encourages letting children take on responsible roles, including chopping. The emphasis throughout the book is for healthy recipes, with lots of hints and tips throughout.
For each food, Fiona suggests some innovative ways of presenting (or marketing) the food to children which can help break down barriers and potentially get the kids trying. There are then a couple of recipes for your to make with your children -with extra tips on how to transform the recipe into `Gourmet for Grown-Ups'. The recipes are clearly laid out with easy to follow instructions and lots of photos.
I found the recipe section the least useful for me particularly. Many of the recipes are innovative and unusual, and herein lies the challenge - I think in terms of tackling fussy eating, they are probably more suited to a challenging toddler than a very fussy 7 year old - Aubergine crispies, courgette and lime sorbet and spinach, feta and cranberry parcels for example won't be making it onto the list of accepted foods for some time to come, but I am encouraged to try meatballs with a twist (tuna meatballs) and sweet spiced sunshine cakes...

This book is nicely written and photographed but the recipies are quite unusual. I got it on offer not sure I would pay full price for it.

This is a great resource with useful,workable tips to get your kids eating some of the things they're not usually good at eating. The recipes are fun and really yummy. The book is also nice to look at, well layed out and with smashing pictures. Well done to the author for the idea. We've tried a number of the recipes and the kids are expanding their repertoir of food!
