Vegan Kids : Tasty, healthy meat-free meals: 100 recipes everyone will love

Vegan eating isn't a new cookbook trend, but this book is different, aimed directly at children and teens, who are often more committed to changing the world by their actions.Although there are vegan cookbooks by tattooed tough guys, beautiful health-bunnies, nutritional gurus and eco warriors, few address the problem that most kids don't like to eat their kind of food. Eating interesting and healthy vegan food is easier for adults, with time to prepare and more-sophisticated tastebuds that relish the fusion of spices and flavours (and vegetables).Feeding kids is often a challenge, and veganism adds an extra twist. Many children and teenagers are making this dietary choice, but still demand food that they like to eat.For the cook, the need is for dishes that are feasible to put together, day in day out, and yet fulfil requirements for health and nutrition.This book makes it possible: yummy, accessible food that has kid-appeal, is healthy, and not too time-consuming either.These are recipes for the dishes that we know kids want to eat, vegan or not.Some might not like pasta with wet (or dry) sauce, some may object to relishes on their burgers, or too-spicy stir-fries, or just to roasted veg – but we guarantee there will be something here they like: tikka-style tofu wrap; spag veganese; ‘no-fish’ and chips; sticky tofu noodles; chocolate cake; it’s-not-cheesecake.Eating a balanced diet is important for all of us, not just for children and teenagers (and students), and now is the best time to enjoy cooking up some healthy, delicious recipes with everyday appeal.Happy vegan eating!
