Wholesome Child: A Complete Nutrition Guide and Cookbook
Cookbooks Wholefood Gluten-Free Cooking Family & Relationships Health & Nutrition Parenting Children's Food
Wholesome Child: A Complete Nutrition Guide and Cookbook (2017, 1st-edition paperback) is the Australian go-to manual that turns anxious parents into confident whole-food kitchen pros. Written by paediatric nutritionist Mandy Sacher, this 295-page, heavily illustrated volume moves beyond quick “hide-the-veg” hacks and delivers a researched, step-by-step roadmap for raising adventurous eaters who actually enjoy quinoa, lentils and leafy greens. Every recipe is family-tested for flavour, freezer-friendly, and tagged with allergy swaps so one meal can flex for gluten-free, dairy-free or egg-free diners without extra stress.
Buyers love that the book is structured like a nutrition course disguised as a cookbook: the opening 100 pages decode sugar proofing, lunch-box law, portion maths and the science of texture acceptance, while the remaining 200 pages supply 140+ recipes that grow with your child—think silky liver-free bolognese boosted with hidden liver, veggie-loaded chocolate brownies sweetened only with fruit, and one-handed “muffin” meals for daycare drop-offs. Each dish lists prep/cook time, storage notes and a “double-it” scale line so batch-cooking is effortless, making the leap from baby pureés to teen taco night seamless.
This well-kept first edition is clean inside, tight in the bind, and still crisp enough to gift; the only wear is a few cosmetic marks on the closed page edges that never touch text or photos. For collectors, 2017 print-runs are already scarce on resale sites, so snapping up a copy in this condition means you secure the original layout, imperial + metric measures, and the full-colour photo index that later reprints trimmed for cost. Whether you are a new parent googling “how to stop picky eating”, a health practitioner building a lending library, or a grandparent who wants one reliable compendium instead of a stack of pamphlets, Wholesome Child delivers lifetime kitchen confidence in a single, satisfying volume.
