The food book (and children) by Omer and Shiran Miller (Photo: Snir Guetta (Sufgi))
I don't tell my kids clichés about food. I'm not convinced that eating carrots will improve their eyesight, and I'm pretty sure that even if they eat spinach, they won't be as strong as Popeye. I do like to tell my kids that food is a game, and play comes in colors – orange, green, red and everything in between.
One secret, and you're there: Omar Miller's vegetable fries from just two ingredients: Tomato sauce that everyone loves
Couscous is already inside: Omar Miller's
magic meatballs This chicken gets its flavor and color from lots and lots of carrots (and a little turmeric), and this dish is one of Ray's favorites, and I admit I am, too. It has quite a few options for variety: you can replace the kneels with chicken chunks, you can also cook meatballs in the pot, and you can skip the meat and prepare a vegetarian dish of rice and carrots (of course you will have to shorten the cooking times accordingly).
If you do walk on kneels, ask the butcher to take some off the bone of your calves so they take up less potty space.

Omer and Shiran Miller's new book presents the method the two developed for raising and educating children through the kitchen. The enjoyment of food and cooking that we all have from an early age is the best way, according to them, to create memories, spend time and develop children's imagination and curiosity just as much as adults.
Beyond enjoying food, the kitchen is the place where all the senses are activated. Through working in the kitchen, children perfect their motor skills, develop self-confidence and independence, learn how to maintain order, cleanliness, safety, and also learn to say "no, I don't like it", thus identifying their desires.
If you ask the Millers, that's why the kitchen is the best school in the world.
At its core, the book is a cookbook with over 80 simple, applicable and delicious recipes. It includes patented dinner recipes, morning classics and foods the whole family loves. But this is not a classic cookbook as we have known it to this day.
It contains boxes and tips for involving children in the cooking process based on the child's desire and motor abilities, tips for developing independence in children, tips for coping with pickiness and food refusal, for incorporating more vegetables into the children's diet, for maintaining diversity and interest in cooking, and many other issues that bother most parents in Israel.
