Dorothy Bates is the author of this fun 'Kids Can Cook' recipe book.  It has delicious vegetarian foods that kids like to eat and cook themselves.  A growing number of today's young people are interested in becoming vegetarians or having a diet that consists of mostly plant-based foods. This book has easy recipes for beginners and are kid-tested, kid-approved.  Dorothy has written or collaborated on eleven vegetarian cookbooks and has spent many years teaching young people how to cook their favorite vegetarian dishes in her home in Summertown, Tenn. 

Vegetarian and plant-based diets that contain adequate calories and a variety of foods can meet all of the nutritional needs of kids and teens and are associated with health advantages.  Even so, when it comes to designing a vegetarian diet, a few key nutrients deserve special attention. On page 4-5 Dorothy explains what these key nutrients are and how to easily get them.  Page 10- 11 shows useful tools for the young cook and secrets of successful cooks.  Kids Can Cook is perfect for kids who want to try their hand at creating their own tasty meatless dishes and for parents who want recipes that are nutritious and easy to prepare. Below is a recipe from the book.  It was a hit with my hubby and other family members.  Notice the yummy homemade salsa on the side.

 1. Have ready:
 8 gluten-free brown rice tortillas

  2. I think the best way to teach children about health is to practice it in your own home! If the parents are cooking and eating nutritious meals, the children will learn how to eat that way and eventually follow their example!

  3. I think its important to expose children to many different healthy foods at a young age. Give them an opportunity to like the healthy foods instead of assuming that they wont like it. Another tip is to feed them adult food type options., So at a restaurant, order them a salad as well. We put kids into a box labeled "this is what kids will like" and it consists of like 5 foods...corn dogs...nuggets...grileed cheese...pasta...pizza...these are the foods that show up on EVERY kids menu. Why do they not offer kids portions of a salad, sandwich, smoothies, etc. I think that would change the way people think!
