In 100 recipes from all over the globe, "Food Adventures" takes us from first spoonfuls (or is it spoonsful??) to first schooldays, exploring and adapting dishes that children are encouraged to try as soon as they're old enough to sit up and take notice.
Starting with simple apple sauce and sweet potato mash, it progresses to the artichoke with lemon that Greek parents feed to toddlers and on through Italian rice balls to the school lunch of meatballs and tomato sauce inspired by a Lebanese classmate.
Elisabeth Luard and Frances Boswell also come up with ideas to keep children interested, transforming mealtime from that old familiar battlefield into a playground where everyone can join the fun. Baby food is, after all, not just for the early years - it's the first step towards a lifetime of enjoyable food.
