Kids in the Kitchen | Food for Children

YUM! is for anyone who wants to feed the family nutritious, delicious food. One of the best feelings you can have as a parent is when your child gobbles up a meal you've cooked for them, especially when you know it's chockful of good stuff. But any parent knows that this doesn't happen every time. Getting your child to love food (and I mean, good wholesome food) is not always easy. That's where I hope YUM! comes in handy. With over 100 parent- and child-tested recipes, and practical, down-to-earth tips and discussions about starting solids, fussy eating, food allergies and more, it will become the go-to for families. - Nadia Lim

Kia ora!
I’m very excited to bring you this new offering. Being a mum of two young boys myself, I see a big need for a book like this…and I am constantly asked by other parents to do one, so I know there is! Currently there is no local (NZ-based) all-in-one nutrition and recipe book for parents of kids from newborn to school age, that has the credentials behind it.

To put it simply, I wanted to create a book that is every parents ‘bible’ when it comes to feeding their kids. This book covers everything from the newborn stage to school-aged children. It is guaranteed to have the most easy-to-make, fuss- free, delicious recipes that babies, kids – and adults – will love. But on top of that, I wanted to ensure that it contains the most up-to-date and credible paediatric nutrition and feeding advice, so I have brought on board two of NZ’s leading paediatric dietitians, Jenny Douglas & Lisa Daniel.

I see this as being an ‘evergreen’ book in the market, with all parents of young children wanting one. It also has huge potential in the gift market for new parents.
