Irish Times

5.0 out of 5 stars A book for REAL parents, 14 July 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Food Our Children Eat: How to Get Children to Like Good Food (Paperback)
I picked this book up for a quick browse, expecting to be hit with the usual guilt about how I feed my child too much rubbish, together with a bland prescription to ban all that junk, and 101 handy tofu recipes which I could prepare painstakingly by spending an extra hour every night in the kitchen.

I could not have been more wrong. I was riveted by the book. The author presents healthy eating as a way of thinking, and points out that it needn't be hard work, and you don't have to be a saint. So many of her ideas are simple, you wonder how you didn't know them instinctively.

This is definitely a book for the waverers among us, who suspect that it just isn't right to be feeding our children junk, but don't know where to begin doing otherwise, or whether there is any point in trying.

My copy is now making the rounds of all my friends. I might have to buy another!

5.0 out of 5 stars An absolute Must-Have, 21 May 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Food Our Children Eat: How to Get Children to Like Good Food (Paperback)
I'm sure there must be other mothers who, like me, suddenly realised that feeding their baby/toddler what they wanted them to eat wasn't quite as straightforward as it may have seemed. If you suddenly feel suffocated by the pressure to feed your child "what children like to eat" (ie highly sweetened and processed junk) but don't feel quite right about it, then this is the book for you. It is really fantastic. It gives inspiration and confidence and above all strengthens your belief that you do actually know what is best for your child AND have the power to control it. It simply isn't necessary to submit to the "well, they'll eat rubbish everywhere else, they might as well have it at home" school. Blythman makes you see, so clearly and simply, that what really matters is what the child considers to be normal. If you are in the slightest bit tempted, you must buy this book - it is a fabulous and gripping bedtime read as well as a reference to sit alongside Annabel Karmel!

1.0 out of 5 stars Misleading title....disappointing, 21 July 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: The Food Our Children Eat: How to Get Children to Like Good Food (Paperback)
Part of the title of the book is "how to get children to like good food" and this lead me to believe that this book gives ideas how to get children to eat well. However, most of the book is just trying to convince one should feed one's children good food. Majority of the ideas in the book are just common sense. So if you are already convinced that your child needs to eat well, don't bother reading this book. You will hardly learn anything new.

5.0 out of 5 stars Practical and realistic
If, like me, you started out intending to feed your child only the best food but find yourself almost unwittingly slipping into allowing more sweets and crisps as "pester power"... Read more
