The Alliance understands that early years practitioners want to offer healthy, balanced meals to children in their care. Launched in June 2009, the Alliance’s Essential Early Years Cookbook is the first book of its kind. It provides recipes, balanced menu planning and nutritional advice for early years staff catering for large groups of children on a budget. Specifically designed to meet the nutritional needs of under fives, this hard cover book presents healthy versions of old favourites together with less traditional dishes. Key features include:
- Recipes for meat, fish and vegetarian meals, desserts, snacks and purées
- Nutritional analysis per portion
- Ideas for recipes that adults and children can prepare together
- Flexible, weekly menu plans and ingredient shopping lists
- Handy tables to help adapt recipes to serve larger numbers of children
- Practical tips on food to include and avoid
- Advice on weaning, allergies and food safety
