Title: Not exactly meat and potatoes
Review: If you have picky eaters, avoid this book. I bought this because it got wonderful reviews. I wanted to make healthy meals for my toddlers. I never made a single recipe. I wish I had been able to browse through the book before I bought it. My family is used to typical American meat and potatoes type meals. I did not see much of this type of meal in the book. Many of the recipes seemed a bit gourmet for those of us used to eating basic meals. My kids wanted nothing to do with a spanish omelette, salmon fishcakes, fish in mushroom sauce, etc. There were a couple of basics like tomato sauce or macaroni and cheese, but I didn't need a toddler meal planner book to know how to cook them. This is probably a very good book, but it just didn't meet my expectations. I think I was looking more for something like Deceptively Delicious by Jessica Seinfeld (Deceptively Delicious: Simple Secrets to Get Your Kids Eating Good Food).
