Cooking for kids can be a challenging experience. Children can be unwilling to try new flavours, and may be more enthusiastic about junk food than meals that you consider to be healthy and nutritionally balanced.

However, Cook's Library Cooking for Kids offers over 60 simple recipes for great home cooking, so you can compete with peer group pressure. Food should be fun and if you present it in an appealing way and encourage children to help when you are cooking, they will want to eat what they have made - and YOU can decide on the ingredients used.
