From the Publisher

Along with nourishing food, serve up tolerance rather than dishing out rights and wrongs. Garnish everything with gratitude. Provide a dining space where children see, hear, and experience the pleasure inherent in sharing good food.

Buttermilk Banana Pancakes

Buttermilk, a cultured dairy product, adds a rich, slightly sour flavor to baked goods. For a dairy-free version, substitute soy, rice, or nut milk with one tablespoon lemon juice added to it.

Goat Cheese & Kale Chicken Roulade

When sliced, this dish shows off its pretty pinwheel pattern. This, plus the child-friendly size of the rounds, makes it appealing to all ages.

Veggie Lovers’ Pizza Party

All hands on deck! Get children involved in the tactile fun of making individual pizzas. This recipe yields six (eight-inch) pies, so invite some friends over and make a party of it.

Gingerbread People

“Run, run as fast as you can. You can’t catch me, I’m the gingerbread man.” Read the story; make the cookies.

Asian Noodle Salad with Broccoli & Toasted Sesame Dressing

You can create an impressive summer meal by serving this with Nori- Wrapped Wasabi Salmon—nutritionally impressive too!

Chipotle–Black Bean Tostados

Cooking beans from scratch allows you to infuse the beans with more flavor and control the texture. Canned beans can be lackluster by comparison.

Roasted Mushrooms & Tomatoes on Polenta Slices

The combination of polenta and mushrooms simply rocks. Dazzle your vegetarian self and/or friends. These heavenly mushrooms also work served on cooked lentils or baked chicken.

Rooibos Chai Tea

This drink (which I was first introduced to as “Yogi Tea”) is filled with many warming spices, which are welcome on cold winter days. Children love its sweet taste.

Red Lentil Soup with East Indian Spices (Masoor Dal)

Red lentils are a small, flat, orange-colored legume, differing from the gray-green French lentil in flavor and appearance. A vegetarian Indian restaurant in Seattle called Silence-Heart-Nest used to serve this satisfying soup, whose proper name is Masoor Dal.
