French kids eat everything (and yours can, too) : how our family moved to France, cured picky eating, banned snacking, and discovered 10 simple rules for raising healthy, happy eaters

Summary: When Karen Le Billon moves with her young family to her husband's hometown in northern France, she doesn't expect to be bombarded with rules about feeding her children. But that is exactly what she encounters - lectures for slipping her fussing toddler a snack or forbidden from packing her older daughter a lunch in lieu of the elaborate meal on the school menu. Her first reaction is to resist, but then she becomes intrigued by the fact that French children appear to eat everything - from beetroot to salad to mussels to muesli - and she soon sees the wisdom in the food rules. In this book she suggests that we need to dramatically rethink the way we feed children. Combining personal anecdotes with practical tips and appetizing recipes, this is a book that every parent can use.
