Back Cover Material
At last ... the book every parent has been waiting for! You’ll be amazed when you see how easy it is to cook nutritious, delicious meals that your whole family will love.
Healthy Family, Happy Family
is the complete one-stop food manual for parents. By following just a few simple rules, any parent, no matter how busy or stressed they may be, will be able to provide healthy, tasty food for their family day after day, while saving time and money. Over Too quick and delicious recipes are included—many of which you can prepare in bulk so you don’t have to cook every night. There are also weekly menus and detailed shopping lists, which will make planning and shopping for your meals a breeze. Specialised recipes cover vegetarian, gluten-free and eczema-friendly options, while your kids’ lunch boxes, parties and snacks aren’t forgotten either. Informative yet accessible text also explains the basics of proper nutrition while giving invaluable tips on how to encourage fussy kids to love vegies not takeaway.
With
Healthy Family, Happy Family
on your kitchen counter, it won’t be long before your child starts saying, ‘More carrots, please!’
‘I love Karen’s approach to family nutrition – make it fun, delicious and easy and the rest will follow!’
