Say goodbye to fussy eating, sugar-laden snacks and separate meals. Whether you’re just starting solids or navigating toddler mealtime battles, this 5-step guide gives you the tools to raise a confident, adventurous eater from the very first bite. Australia’s first appointed Chief Nutrition Officer in the childcare sector, Mandy Sacher sets out a clear roadmap for introducing solids using a wholefoods approach. There’s a shopping guide based on Mandy’s own Real Food Rating system, as well as meal plans, information on food allergies, a daycare nutrition survival guide, plus ideas for sugar-free birthday parties and on-the-go essentials. Mandy shares her top tips to reduce fussy eating and support healthy development as your child grows. The 100 recipes are all free from added sugars, and cover snacks, drinks, breakfast, main meals, staples and birthday party treats. All recipes include guidance on modifying for different preferences and ages – including grown-ups! – while icons make it easy to choose recipes that play nice with allergies and intolerances (gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free and more). Mandy’s delicious, nourishing recipes are designed to feed the whole family, helping you to save time, reduce stress and build lifelong healthy habits, one meal at a time.
