As parents we all know that children can be notoriously difficult to cook for. Many of us fall into the habit of cooking the same dishes over & over again simply because we cannot bear the idea of scraping wasted food into the bin at the end of a meal. However a childs formative years are when they learn to accept & like new foods & it is therefore of great importance to encourage them with new tastes & different textures as often as you can. Hamlyn All Colour Cookbook: 200 Recipes for Kids has been put together with this in mind but also with the knowledge that children are generally fussy creatures & like their food to be simple & to look good. Each recipe has been photographed to show you exactly what you will be cooking (and what they will be eating) & has of course been tested for child-appeal. To prevent your children getting bored by the same meals we have also added a creative variation at the end of each recipe.
