The gastrokid cookbook: feeding a foodie family in a fast-food world

Many years ago, before Hugh Garvey and Matthew Yeomans had children, each of them enjoyed an adventurous foodie lifestyle -- rushing to try all the latest restaurants and traveling the world exploring exotic tastes. Once they became dads, however, they and their wives decided that there was no reason to abandon their food-centric lives. Instead, they became committed to raising ‘Gastrokids’ -- adventurous, food-loving children who could share their parents' desire for bold flavors and well-prepared dishes from all over the world. Garvey and Yeomans developed their blog, www.gastrokid.com, to share this Gastrokid philosophy, and in The Gastrokid Cookbook, they provide parents with the tools toencouraging culinary curiosity in children of all ages. Unlike other children's cookbooks, this book is emphatically not about hiding vegetables or tricking kids into eating healthy food. Instead, it is a guide to raising educated, ambitious eaters who can enjoy the same varied flavors and high-quality ingredients as their foodie parents. The Gastrokid philosophy is all about sharing food adventures with the whole family. Garvey and Yeomans provide an arsenal of sophisticated yet kid-friendly recipes for vegetables and salads, meat, poultry, fish, pasta and grains, pizza and even breakfast. Recipes such as Orange and Ginger Soy Ribs, Japonaise Chicken Nuggets, Mac and Cheese Maximus, Shrimp and Chorizo Non-Paella, Green Zebra Pizza, Roasted Chickpea Bruschetta, and Watermelon and Feta Salad were created with kids' palates in mind, but are delicious enough to appeal to the most discriminating of adults. The book also features down-to-earth advice on simplifying everynight cooking, and personal anecdotes from the authors' own adventures in parenting, foodie-style. Using the authors' ‘Ten Gastrokid Rules for Reclaiming the Family Dinner Table’ (don't cook down to your kids, never call your kid a picky eater, get your kids cooking)and 72 delicious recipes, parents everywhere can learn to raise educated, adventurous eaters and prove that there really is no such thing as ‘kids' food.’
