To quote Kath Megaw: “When meals incorporate taste experiences, social interaction and emotional connections, along with high nutritional impact, the result is altogether healthier, happier children”.
Subtitled A Low-Carb Solution for the Whole Family, leading paediatric dietician Kath Megraw has co-written her book with Daisy Jones (author of Star Fish), Phillipa Cheifitz (author of Lazy Days) and Jane-Anne Hobbs (author of Scrumptious). This is not the children’s version of a diet book, but rather, a more holistic look at feeding your family natural, whole foods, with attention to reducing overall sugar, carbohydrate levels and avoiding the additives present in processed foods. The core concepts she puts into practice are: eat living food; drink water; let them eat fat; ditch the wonder bread; and, no sugar. She combines these concepts as a guide in a whole collection of healthy, easy and affordable recipes. There are also tables of information regarding the dietary requirements of your child, from weaning to adolescence, with a holistic outlook on their physical, emotional and mental development, and suggested recipes to coincide with their needs. This is a great South African cookbook for the whole family – and in line with a world where we are increasingly mindful of what we eat, and where our attitudes towards food and eating are shifting towards smaller portions of healthier, wholesome foods.
If you’ve ever eaten at either of the Sababas, you’ll be as excited as I am about this book! The delis, owned and run by sisters Tal and Nirit, are a celebration not only of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean flavours, of the freshest ingredients, of wholesome and uncomplicated food, but also of family and friends. And the book has been created in this same spirit: the sisters share recipes so that you can prepare your favourite Sababa dishes in your own kitchen; they share their stories and their traditions so that you can make them your own. I love this book almost as much as I love Sababa’s Rare Roast Beef Fillet and Green Bean and Baby Marrow Salad with Rocket, Shaved Parmesan and Pine Nuts!
