Brought to you by the National Black Child Development Institute (NBCDI) and Oldways, the culturally relevant Good for Me cookbook focuses on promoting positive nutrition for children and their families, and is particularly inclusive of children of color. The cookbook is designed to engage children in healthy eating by introducing them to a diverse range of fruits and vegetables – from Avocados to Zucchini. There are 26 recipes (one for each letter of the alphabet), all kid-tested and approved. Most of the dishes are inspired by African heritage, using staple ingredients from Africa, South America, the Caribbean and the American South. The rest are inspired by Mediterranean and Asian cuisines.
The book is suitable to use with children ages three years old and up.
Each recipe includes:
Oldways resources included: African heritage pantry staples, African heritage diet grocery list, and the African heritage diet pyramid.
74 pages. 8.5″ x 11″. Spiral-bound.

If I am so blessed, I will love using this book to teach them about healthy foods spanning the whole alphabet! A clever idea for a cookbook aimed at children. I love the feature, “building skills and knowledge” with each featured letter of the alphabet, so helpful and interesting. This book takes me back to Africa. Love it! Introducing children to healthy foods at a young age is so right, and this book is terrific for that.

Love the cookbook – really like that it is void of typical corn bread and pork recipes.
