Fun Food for Fussy Little Eaters: How to get your kids to eat fruit and veg

by Smitha Srivastava

Mealtimes can be a battleground if your child is a fussy eater, and many parents worry that their little ones aren't eating enough of the healthy things they need in order to grow. In this fun and quirky book, Smita Srivastava shares her innovative and highly effective way of making food far more enjoyable for reluctant little gourmets. Worrying about her own little picky eater, Smita applied her creative background to the meals she was serving. Fashioning food into animals, and other charming characters, she successfully persuaded her daughter to eat what was put in front of her. In fact, Smita's delightful food designs worked so well that she started her blog, Little Food Junction, which has received an overwhelming response from desperate mums around the world. Since most children need a little more inspiration to try new things, the ideas and recipes in this book aim to make food more visually appealing and entice children to be more adventurous. Featuring easy-to-make breakfasts, snacks, and lunch boxes comprised of healthy ingredients such as fresh fruit and vegetables, these fun food presentations drive home the message that healthy meals don't have to be boring. Armed with a Croisant Crab, Friendly Lion, Tom Thumb Snacks and a colourful Pinocchio on a Plate, mealtime battles will be history.
