    The Toddler Café

    Every toddler goes through the stage where they want nothing but "O"-shaped cereal. The challenge for parents is getting kids to ask for fruit salad instead of cupcakes. Faced with this seemingly impossible task with her own child, Jennifer Carden has created The Toddler Café, a guide to making mealtime with children fun and interactive. It offers simple, creative ways for kids to identify with their food, like saying tuna salad is what mermaids eat, or making Minty Pea Pops in ice cube trays. Carden has created over 50 unique recipes that encourage families (including toddlers) to work together to prepare, eat, clean up, and best of all, look forward to a healthy, delicious meal.

    Cooking for kids can be fun!

    10/11/11| Diane Shupp
    The range of recipes in this fun cookbook appeals to a variety of tastes for toddlers through childhood and even adults! My two year old son's favorite recipe in this book so far is the pea pops, which taste closely to mint chocolate chip ice cream only they are much healthier! I've had many kids eat these without realizing they were eating a veggie pop. The author covers a range of recipes that can be used throughout the day for meals and snacks. The recipes are well written and the ingredients are easy to find in a local grocery store.

    While I haven't cooked with him yet, when he is old enough to do so I plan to use many of these recipes to introduce my son to cooking and healthy foods.

    The photography in this cookbook compliments the recipes well and help give the cook an idea of how the recipes should turn out or serving ideas.

    All in all I highly recommend this cookbook for any parent or caregiver who is looking for fresh ideas for foods for their favorite little kids.
