Product Description
Every toddler goes through the stage where they want nothing but "O"-shaped cereal. The challenge for parents is getting kids to ask for fruit salad instead of cupcakes. Faced with this seemingly impossible task with her own child, Jennifer Carden has created The Toddler Caf , a guide to making mealtime with children fun and interactive. It offers simple, creative ways for kids to identify with their food, like saying tuna salad is what mermaids eat, or making Minty Pea Pops in ice cube trays. Carden has created over 50 unique recipes that encourage families (including toddlers) to work together to prepare, eat, clean up, and best of all, look forward to a healthy, delicious meal.

plain carrots vs. chickpea cakes June 2, 2008
1 out of 1 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!
Yummy in my Tummy May 15, 2008

My daughter is 16 months and not a bad eater but she seems to eat the same things over and over. I made the rice balls with beets and she loved them, as did I! I have also made the pumpkin ravioli and the pea pancakes. A word of advice, DON'T change the recipes. The author knows what she is doing. I tried to make the ravioli with baby food because I could not find frozen pumpkin and it was a disaster. I did however start to experiment with my own "toddler cafe" ideas. Some worked and some did not. I made potatoes pancakes in a mini muffin tin (so I did not have to fry them) and it worked GREAT! I can't wait until my daughter is a little older so she can make these fabulous recipes with me. Keep on cooking!
I love this book! May 8, 2008

After trying many of the recipes with my three kids, I brought it when my daughter's third grade brownie troop was planning meals for their camping trip. They loved the banana hot dogs we ate after our 2 mile hike. I loved that they were so easy to make. I had prebagged the PB and brought squirt jelly and whole wheat buns. The girls had fun passing the "mustard" and we whipped up 18 sandwiches with no utensils in the woods. Plus they had each had a banana to help their muscles. Thanks for the creative idea Jennifer.

The Toddler Cafe is an endless source of inspiration for my family. With clever recipe names like "Lord of the Apple Rings," "Swamp Soup," and "Top-o-the Mushroom to Ya," it's easy to lure your kids into the kitchen to prepare and *eat* these dishes. We've loved cooking many of the recipes together. I've also found this a remarkable guide to stocking my pantry in order to always have healthy choices on hand and readily available. With everything from tips for encouraging your children to really be a part of the process and clean up afterwards (yes!), this one is a keeper.
