I really really like this book...It's a very thorough book, very readable, very friendly...ultimately, it gives you tons and tons of strategies, recipes, instructions for how to use whole foods -- which of course don't come with instructions -- to make mealtime not only more pleasant, but more healthy for the kids and for the rest of the family.--Jeff McIntire Strasburg "Sustainablog "
"If your offspring don't devour the zucchini-bacon fritters and pumpkin white-cheddar soup, you most certainly will."
"Check out "The Cleaner Plate Club" by Beth Bader and Ali Benjamin, two moms that strive to feed their families fresh vegetables and whole foods. Before you roll your eyes, these authors do seem to understand that all children are different and admit that theirs are not aliens that would reject fried chicken strips when given the chance to eat them, so many of their recipes have a bit of a sweet edge to appeal to the younger palate. One hundred kid tested recipes and profiles of 25 different veggies that include nutritional info and tips on selecting and preparing them are included. There is also a seasonal index of recipes that enables you to cook freshest items in your market. With all of the above this book will have you well on your way to improving the nutritional content of your next delicious meal. "
