The Wall Street Journal reviews The Complete Baby and Toddler Cookbook!

4/19/2019

 
Picture
We are thrilled to share that The Complete Baby and Toddler Cookbook by America's Test Kitchen was featured in The Wall Street Journal. 
"​As many a fatigued parent will tell you, persuading toddlers to eat well can be a challenge. To make the process easier, the cooks at America’s Test Kitchen have done a wonderful job of assembling appetizing and slyly audacious recipes for babies and young children in “The Complete Baby and Toddler Cookbook” (Sourcebooks Jabberwocky, 294 pages, $24.99). Pear and zucchini puree, savory oat cakes, glazed tofu sticks: Each recipe is laid out with photographs, a paragraph explaining why the dish works and the appropriate age to introduce it. For those who can handle a messy kitchen, there’s also a great chapter about cooking with your kids, which remains one of the best ways to get culinary buy-in from finicky young eaters." —​Meghan Cox Gurdon
