Happy Family Launches First-Ever Cookbook
"Organic Superfoods Cookbook for Baby & Toddler" Offers Wholesome Nutrition for the First 1,000 Days
NEW YORK, Sept. 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Happy Family today unveiled its first-ever cookbook, the Happy Family Organic Superfoods Cookbook for Baby & Toddler, by Founder and CEO, Shazi Visram, and with chef Cricket Azima, Founder and CEO of The Creative Kitchen. With more than 70 easy-to-prepare recipes made with nutritionally-rich ingredients, the Happy Family Organic Superfoods Cookbook offers a fresh, nutritious and accessible approach to feeding children from starting solids through to toddler years. The book celebrates the company's Enlightened Nutrition Philosophy – that exposing children to a wide variety of nutritious foods early on helps lay the foundation of healthy eating habits throughout life.
"Every parent aspires to give the love, care and freshness of homemade food to their kids," said Visram. "We want to support parents to cook delicious and nutritious recipes because when we find the time to cook together, really good things happen -- we connect with the food we eat and each other to enjoy the simple moments that make life happy." Happy Family's mission is to support young families getting the best nutrition possible during the first 1,000 days of life, from pregnancy through toddlerhood, and our cookbook is helping achieve that mission.
The artfully designed cookbook offers flavorful, healthy recipes for babies and toddlers to support their best start in life, while making cooking fun and creative. Taste and preferences develop at a very early age that can last a lifetime, and it's important to provide children with fresh, clean foods that are optimized with smart, age-specific ingredients from the very beginning.
The cookbook features over 70 recipes for babies and toddlers, including:
Recipes for babies (4–12 months):
- Blackberry, Banana, Peach & Quinoa Puree
- Salmon with Kale & Yogurt
- Strawberry, Avocado & Beet Blend
- Savory Rice Pudding with Papaya, White Beans & Spinach
Recipes for toddlers (1–3 years):
