Reviews
I really really like this book...It's a very thorough book, very readable, very friendly...ultimately, it gives you tons and tons of strategies, recipes, instructions for how to use whole foods -- which of course don't come with instructions -- to make mealtime not only more pleasant, but more healthy for the kids and for the rest of the family.--Jeff McIntire Strasburg Sustainablog
Check out The Cleaner Plate Club by Beth Bader and Ali Benjamin, two moms that strive to feed their families fresh vegetables and whole foods. Before you roll your eyes, these authors do seem to understand that all children are different--and admit that theirs are not aliens that would reject fried chicken strips when given the chance to eat them, so many of their recipes have a bit of a sweet edge to appeal to the younger palate. One hundred kid tested recipes and profiles of 25 different veggies that include nutritional info and tips on selecting and preparing them are included. There is also a seasonal index of recipes that enables you to cook freshest items in your market. With all of the above this book will have you well on your way to improving the nutritional content of your next delicious meal.
If your offspring don't devour the zucchini-bacon fritters and pumpkin white-cheddar soup, you most certainly will.
Author Information
Beth Bader has been a photojournalist, writer, and shark wrangler. As much activist as cook, she is, most of all, a mom determined to make the world a better place for her child, one meal at a time. She is a food blogger and contributes to the websites EatLocalChallenge and EatDrinkBetter. Ali Benjamin is the co-author of The Cleaner Plate Club and the author of the YA novel The Thing About Jellyfish. Benjamin has worked for big companies, grassroots non-profits, and the Peace Corps. Still, one of her greatest achievements so far is seeing her children dive into a bowl of kale.
