This book is for everyone, not just people with babies or young children. Here is my review:
If you are expecting your first child or have young children, read this book NOT Dinner a Love Story. DALS will teach you how to create picky kids This book will teach you how to avoid it in the first place and to fix it if you have already made that mistake.
I have had this book on my to read list for months, but because my kids are teenagers, I knew I was not the target audience. I finally read it and I am glad I did. I have to state for the record that I agree wholeheartedly with the French approach to feeding children. I made the typical American mistakes with my first two children and did a complete flip with the following three. So, I feel like kind of an expert on this subject. Even though my kids are older, I find that my children and I are all snacking too much. This book was a great reminder of how we should all eat at all ages. The first 65% of the book is also a great memoir on a North American living in France. Of course, after reading this book, I had to make a french dinner. We had quiche with salad and berries with yogurt cream for dessert. My family was thrilled.
If you enjoy memoirs about living in Europe, food & cooking, read this book.
