Summary:What if the secret to raising an adventurous eater isn't bribery, bargaining, or hiding vegetables? Millions of parents have watched young Levi--the star of the viral Cooking for Levi social channels (@CookingforLevi)--happily eat everything from garlicky green beans to Cajun shrimp, asking the same question: How did they get him to eat like that? In Weeknight Winners, Family Dinners, Jack Zhang, a former chef, and child development expert Emmy Zhang share the surprisingly simple philosophy behind their viral videos: the secret isn't forcing kids to eat more foods--it's including them in unexpected ways that work for you--and for them. Perfect for busy parents navigating the weeknight rush, Weeknight Winners, Family Dinners features 80 kid-approved, adult-loved recipes that come together in under an hour (most in just thirty minutes). Each recipe includes age-appropriate ways for kids to help in the kitchen (if they want to!), conversation prompts, and practical strategies for engaging kids that take the pressure out of mealtime.
