Pea Pancakes Rock! December 1, 2008
So far, my 12-month old has liked everything I've made from this cookbook. At her age, I would say there are only about a handful of appropriate recipes for her... but I look forward to trying others as she gets older. I've especially liked the veggie recipes (wish there were even more for veggies) because they get her to eat veggies - the boiled carrots weren't doing it for her and I was getting bored of feeding her avocado every night! Anyway, the recipes are easy to follow and come out tasty (or so I can tell, in her opinion).

This book has been very helpful. My 17 month old daughter is not a picky eater, but she gets moody with her food. One day she'd eat a plateful of green beans and grilled chicken, but a few days later she'd refuse to eat any of it, and throws them on the floor. I was running out of ideas for meals for her, because it seemed like she likes her meals to be different constantly. That was the reason I got this book. So far, she loves all the recipes that I've tried, and the recipes are super simple, healthy, quick, and easy.
 Good Book, but not all it's cracked up to be August 21, 2008

Toddler Cafe is a very nice cookbook. If you are trying to get your kids interested in healthier menu items. My daughter (3) doesn't have a problem not eating healthy. I found the items to not be made in a timely fashion. I consider myself to be a learning chef and I have many ingredients on hand. If I was going to make these meals I would have to make sure that I pick recipes before I go to the grocery store. There are not many substitues for the type of things you need. If you don't have a problem doing those things then definately buy this book. Otherwise try something else.
plain carrots vs. chickpea cakes June 2, 2008
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
I discovered Toddler Cafe through a post on 101 [...] and ordered it right away. I have a 13 month old and am trying to introduce her to a variety of foods, flavors and textures. So far, we've tried chickadee chick pea cakes and rainbow rice balls. Give the girl plain old carrots on a plate and they end up rejected on the floor, but mix them up with lots of other goodies in chickpea cakes and they get eaten with great enthusiasm. Oh yes and 'dad' thought the rainbow rice was pretty yummy too! The book is full of lots of creative and interesting stuff and I'm looking forward to trying lots of things!
Your child enjoy healthy meals without being duped! May 15, 2008

As a former early childhood educator, I was a little dismayed about the trend to sneak healthy foods into children's meals. In my years of working with young children, I found that their palates are much more sophisticated than we know.
By preparing a limited menu and keeping them out of the process, parents unwittingly create picky eaters who'll explode at anything but chicken fingers, cereal, and peanut butter sandwiches. If you cook yummy healthy meals, they will eat them! Of course, some foods might take a few tries and incarnations, but isn't that how you learned to love avocados, brussel sprouts, fish, and other formerly yucky stuff?
I love that Jennifer Carden has such respect for the littlest budding gourmets. I really enjoyed flipping through the inventive and inspired recipes in this book. Can't wait to try them out with my favorite tiny chefs!
