What's all the fuss?

Shhh! Don’t tell them the green bits are spinach!

Has your not-so-small-anymore turned into a fussy eater who refuses to gobble up greens (and reds and oranges)? Open wide for delish and delectable healthy eating solutions.

Start young.
A perfect first cookbook is Annabel Karmel's New Complete Baby and Toddler Meal Planner. Every kitchen needs one. Or there's Robyn Barker's Baby & Toddler Meals - A no-nonsense and practical guide to feeding your little ones.

Get involved.
Donna Hay has a fantastic cook-book designed for young chefs, Cool Kids Cook, with easy-on-the-eye illustrations and simple, step-by-step instructions.

Puree Hell.
Yep, we know how hard it is to get them to eat their veggies. Enter Jessica Seinfeld (yes - Jerry's wife) and her fantabulous recipe book, Deceptively Delicious. Simple strategy that works, funky layout, great recipes. Tick.

Sandwich family?
Doodle Bread - funny name, but if you have a budding Iron Chef this edible art is for you. This kit makes bread with coloured shapes in every slice. Just don't tell them the green is spinach. Or browse the Funky Lunch sandwich design website for inspiration.

Chow down
With cute Edison Chopsticks to keep them interested and learning while they eat.

Still no results?
If you want to speak to the experts, head to The Food Clinic for professional advice.

On the subject of munching.
The Incredible Book Eating Boy is guaranteed to trigger hysterics. A must have genius book for your kids' collection. Buy the hardcopy version for the bite-sized chunk, complete with teeth marks, missing from the back cover. You'll be reading this one a lot. Bookworms head to Kinokunya or Borders.
