Weeknight Winners, Family Dinners

Description

From the beloved family behind the viral Cooking for Levi phenomenon, a practical cookbook that proves good eaters aren't born--they're raised. These easy recipes and simple strategies turn everyday dinners into moments of connection, curiosity, and confidence.

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.

Recipes include:

• Watcha Got Butter Chicken
• Hoisin-Glazed Meatballs
• Cherry Tomato Spaghetti and Meatballs
• Honey You'll Love This Salmon
• Fry-Day Night Rice
• Salted Caramel Cupcakes

Weeknight Winners, Family Dinners shows how everyday moments--from grocery shopping and cooking to sharing bites and asking open-ended questions--can help raise adventurous eaters, develop language, and make dinner the best part of the day.
