This cookbook for kids offers a unique tool in America's battle with poor eating habits - fun. It encourages children to eat well by consuming squeezable recipes. It’s really simple. Kids have fun squeezing tasty, nutritious sauces, dips and dressings over fruits and vegetables. Then they eat their creations. No cooking is required!
Children can prepare the recipes themselves or with an adult. It’s a great way for the whole family to have fun spending time together, while developing a healthy attitude toward food. "Many kids today think a balanced diet means a cookie in each hand," says Malcolm Kushner, the cookbook’s author. "I want them to have a fruit or vegetable in each hand." While squisine is not aimed specifically at weight-loss, it is intended to encourage children to eat healthier foods, which will naturally produce weight-loss. "Squeezing a tasty sauce or dressing over fruits and vegetables makes it more likely that kids will eat them. It’s fun. It gets them involved. And it makes the fruits and vegetables taste good," says the author. Each of the 100 squeezable recipes is: - nutritious - pediatrician-approved - kid-tested - quick and easy to make - fun to eat And best of all no cooking is required! In an age when obesity is epidemic, here is a simple formula for fun and healthy eating: Squisine = squeeze + cuisine. Even Einstein would agree!
While there are many reasons for teaching kids to cook -- less expensive than eating out, preserves family heritage, etc, the most important
reason is that by teaching your child to cook, you're giving him a better chance to be a healthy grown-up. Enabling your child with the ability
to appreciate freshness and to transform ingredients into tasty foods opens their eyes to making wiser choices about what to eat...
