About this ebook

What if mealtimes were happy hours with kids running to the table to see what surprise is in store for them today? Well, that is not a distant dream, but a reality you can easily achieve by understanding what kids like. Kids do not hate nutritious stuffs; they simply want some excitement and enjoyment in what they eat! Apples peeping out of the breakfast bowl, chewy cheese in their potatoes, or crunchy sweet corn in their chapatis. So, by using a little creativity and thought, you can quickly and easily prepare foods that will tempt your kids and make them drool!

 

This book, Fun Foods for Children, has 41 innovative and easy recipes that are exciting and tasty enough to ensure that your kids are happy, satiated and well-nourished too.

 

The first section, Breakfast Bonanza, has quick ideas for busy mornings. Delight your kid with tasty and healthy choices like the Banana Walnut Pancake and the Potato and Baby Corn Chapati Roll.

 

When your kid goes to school, you are concerned about what to send in the box, for short snack breaks and long breaks. These foods need to be handy and healthy, while also being attractive to the young ones. In the thoughtful Dabba Delights section, you will find lunch recipes like Spinach and Carrot Rice as well as quick eats like Cheese Cookies.

 

Now, we get to the fun-filled After School Treats, which are sure to satiate your kids when they come home tired after school. Watch with satisfaction as they devour tasty snacks like the Open Bean Burger and Sprouts and Corn Chatpata Chaat.

 

What about cheesy treats and sweet bites? Well, in the Cheesy Nibbles section, we present the all-time favourite ingredient in various exciting forms like Mac ‘n’ Cheese and Cheese and Oatmeal Cookies.

 

Checkout the Sweet Something section for yummy delights that can be served any time of the day, for no reason at all! Share their joy with memorable sweets like the Crunchy Pineapple Cake and Biscuity, Nutty and Chocolaty Balls.

 

Of course, health comes first, so for important meals like breakfast, and the mid-day booster ‘tiffin’, the recipes try to pack a lot of nutrition too. A few healthy choices are brimming with nutrients, as you can see from the accompanying nutritive value table. You will derive cent per cent satisfaction when you see your kids enjoying wholesome yet exciting foods like Power Packed Cereal and Paneer and Spring Onion Paratha.

 

While these recipes are guaranteed to delight your kids, you need not stop with these. Once you start making such recipes, you are sure to slowly understand what it takes to please your kids. With that knowledge in place, you can give a child-friendly twist to most of the recipes, including traditional ones, to ensure that your kids devour their food without any poking or pushing by you!

This ebook has an image with every recipe and each ingredient has been mapped to a detailed glossary so you never get lost. We have added 7 video recipes which you can also enjoy. 

Wish you memorable meal times, and unending joy!
