Karen Le Billon
French Kids Eat Everything is a wonderfully wry account of how Karen Le Billon was able to alter her children’s deep-rooted, decidedly unhealthy North American eating habits while they were all living in France.At once a memoir, a cookbook, a how-to handbook, and a delightful exploration of how the French manage to feed children without endless battles and struggles with pickiness, French Kids Eat Everything features recipes, practical tips, and ten easy-to-follow rules for raising happy and healthy young eaters—a sort of French Women Don’t Get Fat meetsFood Rules.

"I picked up this book after feeling frustrated with my 19-month old daughter who used to be a great eater and started becoming picky. I was especially stressed when she refused to eat many of the Peruvian dishes I grew up eating. She's half Peruvian for Pete's sake! I was not going to settle for her dislike of her heritage (food-wise). She, like most kids, started favoring pasta and the dreaded goldfish crackers and I was not happy, mainly when I had to make her own special meal so she would eat at all.<br/><br/>This book is wonderful. Since Day 1 (so, like 2 days ago)I've started a movement in my home that I call "The French Project" and I'm following the guidelines I've learned with this book. Even though it's hard (lots of tantrums and whining), we've seen small progress. I will update the results when more time has passed but I'm hopeful and optimistic.<br/><br/>On an actual review, I loved the book. It was easy to follow and funny and very eye-opening. It also didn't hurt that I love anything French and one day hope to go to France! (I'm still working on learning the language)."
