Food Adventures: Introducing Your Child to Flavors from Around the World

by Elisabeth Luard, Ngoc Minh Ngo (Photographer), Francess Boswell

In 100 recipes from all over the world, Adventures in Baby Food takes us from first spoonfuls to first schooldays, exploring and adapting dishes that children are encouraged to try as soon as they're old enough to sit up and take notice. Elisabeth and Frances also come up with ideas to keep children interested, transforming mealtime from that old familiar battlefield into a playground where everyone can join the fun. Baby food is, after all, not just for the early years-it's the first step towards a lifetime of enjoyable food.
