Zusatztext A wonderful - and important - book. One family's topsy-turvy culinary transformation becomes an in-depth exploration of the habits that have kept French kids loving food (and eating spinach) for centuries. Informationen zum Autor Karen Bakker Le Billon is a professor at the University of British Columbia, and was named one of Canada's Top 40 Under 40 in 2011. A Rhodes Scholar with a PhD from Oxford, she has published three scholarly books. For the past decade, she and her family have divided their time between Canada and France. Klappentext 'Humorous as well as instructive, this culinary adventure will change the lives of parents and children alike' Patricia Wells, author of The Provence Cookbook If you have ever tried hiding healthy foods in your kids' lunch, bribing them to finish - or even start - a meal, or simply given up in exasperation at your child's extensive list of banned foods, this book will strike a chord. Moving her young family to her husband's home town in northern France, Karen Le Billon is prepared for some cultural adjustment but is surprised by the food education she and her family (at first unwillingly) receive. In contrast to her daughters, French children feed themselves neatly and happily - eating everything from beetroot to broccoli, salad to spinach, mussels to muesli. The family soon begins to see the wisdom in the 'food rules' that help the French foster healthy eating habits and good manners - from the rigid 'no snacking' rule to commonsense food routines that we used to share but have somehow forgotten. The result is a family food revolution with surprising but happy results. Sharing her tips, tricks, rules and routines for happy, healthy eaters - plus some fast, tasty recipes to try - Karen Le Billon's practical guide will cure picky eating and help your children to be more adventurous with food, establishing healthy eating habits that will last a lifetime.
