If we want our children to grow up healthy and strong, we need to include more fresh foods in their diets. More and more children and adolescents are now considered over-weight or obese. Fast food and poor-quality ready-to-eat meals are becoming a regular part of the average diet. These processed foods account for 75 percent of the saturated fat and salt that children consume. The good news is that cooking more healthfully for your family doesn't need to be complicated or time-consuming.
In Favorite Family Meals, bestselling children's food author Annabel Karmel applies her signature fresh, creative cooking style to focus on the family and shows how you -- and your children -- can enjoy time spent in the kitchen preparing everyday dishes that are delicious, nutritious, and often just plain fun to make and eat!
Here is a collection of all-time favorite recipes with that key ingredient, child appeal. Parents will find inspiration for meals for all occasions, including burgers and chicken nuggets, low-fat dishes, nutritious lunch box fare, family suppers, and even adult dinner parties.
If you're a busy parent stuck in a rut serving the same meals week in and week out, or if you're tired of making different meals for each member of your household, this book is for you. Karmel offers practical guidelines designed to give families a "food makeover" by organizing a healthy pantry, refrigerator, and freezer, and by providing time-saving tips for making meal planning easier.
Favorite Family Meals offers realistic ways to improve your whole family's diet, as well as advice on promoting good nutrition to children, because it's not good enough to prepare healthy food for kids -- they have to want to eat it, too!

Summary: nothing new
Comment: This is not worth wasting your money on unless you have no idea how to make a meal appealing to a child. I was looking for recipes that would be different than your normal kid fare, meals sophisticated in taste and ingredients yet still appealing to a child. Unfortunately you won't get that in this cookbook - you'll get your standard kid's meals. Don't waste your money.

Summary: Just O.K.
Comment: The ingredients are very hard to find. The author is from Europe. The food is just O.K. I have made 5 dishes from it and my husband has not liked a single one. I probably won't use it anymore.

Summary: Disappointed
Comment: I ordered this book after seeing the author on TV. I was so taken by the 'images' that I bought the book. I opened the book excited to find the recipes I saw on TV but I was really disappointed when I found the recipes and I found NO pictures!
In my opinion all recipes should have pictures especially hers because she is creating them so children will be excited enough by the images to eat the food. I also thought that her recipes could be used at any dinner party that you wanted to have a whimiscal looking dish!But if you can't see how she made them then there is no way to reconstruct the recipe as it does not tell you what you saw on TV.

Comment: Some meals look alittle too time consuming. My son is not really into any of the recipes yet so I haven't tried too many of them

Summary: another great cookbook by Karmel
Comment: Excellent, as usual. I have 3 of her cookbooks now. I started with the puree and baby food cookbooks and then we got this one. My children, 8, 4 and 9 months have all grown up on her purees and baby foods. They actually taste like food you would want to eat as opposed to most of the stage 3 meats for babies in a jar. I have never had a bad meal from her. We just tried the stir-fried chicken with broccoli from this book and I felt like I was in a chinese restaurant. It was just that good! If you have infants and toddlers or just picky eaters try her other ones too-'First Meals' or 'Top 100 Baby Purees' they are all worth it.
