Kid-approved! A cookbook of the fail-safe recipes Canada's chefs use to win over their toughest critics: kids. Feeding kids can often feel like climbing a mountain, and sometimes like an endless series of rejections and failures. With picky eating preferences changing at every turn, meals that were a mainstay one week are inexplicably pushed aside when they hit the table the next. Because kids don't care about what they're serving at the new
It Restaurant, the food fads of the year or how long you spend in the kitchen--either they like what they're eating ... or they'll let you know about it! But surely chefs, with all of their accolades, awards and years of experience don't go through this too ... do they? What food writer Joanna Fox discovered might surprise you. It turns out we're all in the same boat, even Canada's top culinary professionals from coast to coast.
