(More customer reviews)I bought this book as a gift for someone who has a toddler.I thought it would provide good ideas for dinnertime meals.I was disappointed when I looked through the book at the recipes.Although some looked very child friendly, such as chicken nuggets and smoothies, some looked like they were more geared towards adults.Sardine bruchetta, walnut pesto,and sweet potatoes with lentils and bacon all sound delicious, but may be more appropriate for the parent's tastes. I was so disappointed about what I read that I couldn't bring myself to give it as a gift even though the book is beautifully put together with great pictures.
