This book was not written with the intention of being just another recipe book for food. It is original and innovative.

It covers the most modern aspects of a child's nutrition from birth to adolescence. It discusses the usefulness, risks, and nutritional value of ingredients found in a wide range of foods and presents tables indicative of the way various meals should be administered, followed by selected recipes.

The originality of the book, however, lies mainly in the extensive reference made with clarity and vividness to issues such as a child's refusal to eat certain foods or sit at the table, the behavior of parents towards a difficult child, and generally addressing various problems related to food. In this way, a fundamental part of modern pediatrics is responsibly and scientifically covered, so that the correct foundations are laid for the transition to adult life.

The fact that the author is a prolific doctor with many years of experience in pediatrics and pediatric cardiology makes this book reliable and particularly interesting.
