Resource Type

Book - Child

Description

"Parents concerned with their children's nutrition will welcome this anthology of low-fat, low-sugar recipes easily put together by kids themselves. Without preaching, Jacobson ( The Fast Food Guide ) and dietitian Hill ( Eating the Low-Fat Way ) admonish young readers that "the rest of your body needs more than sweet, salty or crispy foods . . . to help it grow as strong and smart as it can." Accordingly, the book abounds with handy facts (e.g., a list of "golden safety rules") certain to help budding gastronomes and likely to enlighten more than a few adults. From a healthful "bananany breadsic " to clever "English muf-faces" (muffins with raisin eyes, strawberry nose and orange mouth) and hearty bean-and-vegetable chili, recipes are consistently unelaborate and include preparation tools needed for each. The proof, however, will be in the pudding--happily, the single one here calls for brown rice rather than white--and in whether children will want to fix this food..."(From Publishers Weekly)
