Book Review:
Nina Mehta's Cooking for Growing Children is a practical and thoughtful cookbook designed to help parents and caregivers prepare nutritious, appealing meals for children at different stages of growth. Authored by Nina Mehta—part of the renowned Nita Mehta publishing family—this book focuses on balancing taste, health, and variety to support the dietary needs of young ones.

The recipes are likely rooted in Indian cuisine but adapted for contemporary, health-conscious families, featuring ingredients that promote development without compromising on flavor. Expect sections on breakfast ideas, lunchbox favorites, after-school snacks, main meals, and perhaps tips on dealing with picky eaters or allergies.

True to the Nita Mehta brand, the book is visually appealing, with clear instructions and vibrant photographs. It emphasizes simplicity, using readily available ingredients to create dishes that children will enjoy while ensuring they receive essential nutrients.

This cookbook is an excellent resource for Indian parents seeking culturally familiar yet innovative meal solutions. It’s also useful for anyone interested in introducing diverse, wholesome foods to children in a delicious and accessible way. While not an exhaustive guide to child nutrition, it succeeds as a reliable, kitchen-friendly companion for everyday cooking that both kids and parents will love.
