Kia ora!
I’m very excited to bring you this new offering. Being a mum of two young boys myself, I see a big need for a book like this…and I am constantly asked by other parents to do one, so I know there is! Currently there is no local (NZ-based) all-in-one nutrition and recipe book for parents of kids from newborn to school age, that has the credentials behind it.

To put it simply, I wanted to create a book that is every parents ‘bible’ when it comes to feeding their kids. This book covers everything from the newborn stage to school-aged children. It is guaranteed to have the most easy-to-make, fuss- free, delicious recipes that babies, kids – and adults – will love. But on top of that, I wanted to ensure that it contains the most up-to-date and credible paediatric nutrition and feeding advice, so I have brought on board two of NZ’s leading paediatric dietitians, Jenny Douglas & Lisa Daniel.

I see this as being an ‘evergreen’ book in the market, with all parents of young children wanting one. It also has huge potential in the gift market for new parents.
