The Bookseller
The recipes sound delicious, and hopefully my sons will agree

Product Description
'Take one seven-year-old boy named Freddie and his mother as they face the challenge of turning him from a vegetable-phobic into a boy who will eat and even enjoy some of life's leafier pleasures. Join us as we work through the A to Z of vegetables' are the opening words of a blog started by Charlotte Hume after another dinner table drama involving her seven year old son and peas. She called it the Great Big Vegetable Challenge and opened it to 'all of you parents out there who have tried and succeeded to introduce your offspring to the joys of carrots, peas, lettuce, spinach, asparagus, beetroot, green beans - in fact any vegetable. Any idea gratefully received.' The strategy of the challenge was simple.As Freddie systematically refused nearly every single vegetable, his mother was going to introduce him to the entire alphabet of vegetables cooked in a variety of original and tempting ways and post the results - successes and failures on her blog. And so began a delightful exploration of the world of vegetables. From artichokes to zucchinis, broad beans to yams, every aspect of this family vegetable adventure is lovingly chronicled in Charlotte's book "The Great Big Veg Challenge". As well as being highly practical containing over 100 delicious child-friendly recipes, this fully illustrated book is also the funny and touching story of how a mother changed her son's eating habits for good.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing and inspirational book, 14 Jul 2008
By David Hall (South Tyneside, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The U.K. is in a precarious situation at this very moment. Never has our nation been so confused about food yet ironically, never have we had so much food literally thrown into our faces, especially via the growing army of TV chefs. As somebody who teaches thousands of children how to eat everything in moderation, with emphasis on the fruit and vegetable, I feel I have a right to say I'm on the frontline. And it is scary.

What Charlotte Hume has done with this book is grab the very ethos of what food should be; simple, delicious, fun and less intimidating for children. An A-Z of vegetables with superb, easy to achieve and non-egotistical recipes, access for all. It really is that good.

If you are somebody with family, or you are somebody yourself, who seem to be for some reason scared of vegetables, or even if you are somebody who claims to know it all, please check out this book. For somebody at the end of their tether trying to get her son to eat vegetables, it proves that with a bit of time, patience and the passion to feed her family properly, it can be done no matter how high the obstacle. And now you can have access to the miracles that made it happen.

I cannot recommend it high enough. Absolutely bleedin' brilliant - well done!

5.0 out of 5 stars Forget meat and two veg.........., 31 Jul 2008
I bought this book hoping for new ideas about what to feed the kids, and I'm delighted with the results. It's absolutely packed full of recipes and, while it covers some of the more exotic vegetables, it's also got plenty of suggestions for new ways of making the old favourites more appealing. But what I like best about the book is the fact that these really are dishes which the whole family can enjoy - the adults are as happy eating them as the kids. I have a fussy four year old who, much to our amazement, has happily munched through sweet potatoes with a spicy dressing, and this has kickstarted us into encouraging her to try more new tastes. So I wholeheartedly recommend this book - and it's a good read too!
