I am at a bit of a loss to understand how the term healthy factored into this cookbook. Firstly, discounting the fact that the average parent could invent most of the recipes in the sandwich section, almost half of the recipes for sandwiches in the first seven sections contain either cheese, bacon or sausage as an ingredient. The savoury section also has cheese or sausage in almost every dish. Add to this, the couple of cakes in the sweet section that contain significant amounts of sugar and butter, and one begins to wonder where the healthy eating is fitting in. Finally, this book fails to provide any information about the nutritional content of the recipes presented. One would think this would be a consideration in a book on healthy eating. Sure we want our kids to cut out the chips and fast foods, but replacing it with recipes that consistently contain cheese, bacon,sausage, butter and sugar and calling it "healthy" has sure got me puzzled.
