Not a recipe book
The majority of this book is about nutrition and problems with eating. I had expected it to be more recipe book. I liked the recipes that there are but this is not as good as I had thought it was going to be.

Dissapointment!
I too expected more of a recipe book,not a lot of pointless waffle! Also sack the proof reader,the amount of spelling mistakes and missing items is very annoying! (ie see page 000 for this recipe ...WHAT?!)

Nothing Yummy About It!
I absolutely agree with the other reviewers that this is NOT a recipe book. There is some good nutritional information in there somewhere, but there's also quite a lot of well-meaning but ultimately unhelpful advice. For example, treating your child to a 'couple of squares of good quality organic plain chocolate' was never going to be realistic in our household. I'm not sure I needed to know quite so much about her adopted daughter either - she's also pictured throughout - and it made me feel a little uncomfortable.

If you're the type of person who will make a sustained effort to grind flaxseeds into your child's porridge then this is just the book for you - otherwise you would be better reading Annabel Karmel.

Finally, I made the sugar free muffins and they were disgusting!
