Serving something healthy, varied, and tasty every day that the entire family will love? That’s often easier said than done. Especially when you have a baby just starting on solids, an opinionated toddler saying “no” to everything, and you still want to enjoy a good meal yourself.

Fortunately, healthy family cooking doesn't have to be complicated at all!

With “Groente voor kids” by STERK & ZOET, you'll discover how small tweaks turn one delicious dish into a meal for everyone at the table. This comprehensive family cookbook is packed with inspiration, practical tips, and no fewer than 100 recipes where vegetables take center stage.

From your baby's first veggie purees to nourishing meals for toddlers, school-age kids, and adults. No more cooking separate dishes—just enjoying the same food together, tailored to your child's age and development.

Healthy, easy, and above all, delicious. Exactly what family dinner should be!

Cook once, enjoy together

What makes this cookbook so special is its smart approach: you cook one base meal for the whole family.

Because why make multiple dishes every evening when there's a simpler way?

The recipes in “Groente voor kids” teach you how to easily adapt a meal to your child's age and nutritional needs.

25 chapters, 25 different vegetables

What we at HUSKS love about this cookbook is its unique layout.

The book features 25 chapters, each spotlighting a different vegetable.

Think of classics and new favorites like:

• Carrot

• Zucchini

• Parsnip

• Red cabbage

• Green beans

It encourages you to look beyond the usual produce you grab every week.

How often do we reach for the exact same ingredients out of habit?

With “Groente voor kids”, you'll see how many versatile meals you can make with all kinds of vegetables.

From familiar staples to produce you might not cook with very often.

A wonderful way to bring natural variety into your family's daily diet.

From first bites to eating with the family

The transition from milk feeds to solid food is such a special milestone.

Your baby is discovering brand-new flavors, textures, and ingredients for the first time. But as a parent, it can also raise plenty of questions.

Where do you begin? How do you build up portions? When can your little one start eating what you eat?

In “Groente voor kids”, you'll find practical information and tips to guide you along the way.

The book covers:

• Starting your baby on solids

• Introducing various vegetables and flavors

• Transitioning to more diverse family meals

• Adapting dishes to your baby's age and stage

• Developing healthy eating habits in toddlers

• Building a balanced and varied diet

This makes the book much more than just a recipe collection—it's a trusted guide through different stages of growing up.

And best of all, your child naturally becomes part of the family mealtime routine.

Great for picky eaters, too

Almost every parent knows the feeling: you’ve lovingly prepared a wholesome meal, only for your toddler to take one look and decide they definitely won't touch it.

Rest assured, this is a completely normal developmental phase for many children.

That’s why “Groente voor kids” also focuses on gentle approaches for picky eaters.

The book helps you serve vegetables in diverse ways, introducing new flavors without pressure or stress.

Because learning to eat healthy shouldn't turn dinner into a battlefield.

Sometimes kids just need time to get used to a new taste. By keeping things varied and presenting vegetables in an appealing way, you can keep food exploration positive.

No pressure to clean the plate, just an inviting space to explore good food together.

Includes four weekly meal plans and grocery lists

Healthy cooking always gets easier with a little planning.

That’s why this book includes not only 100 recipes, but also four complete weekly meal plans with matching shopping lists.

Invaluable for busy family routines!

With these weekly menus, you never have to wonder what's for dinner at the end of a long day.

You can plan your meals ahead and know exactly what ingredients to buy.

This streamlines your grocery trips and makes it effortless to keep meals diverse throughout the week.

Perfect if you want to spend less time meal planning and more time enjoying your family.

Healthy eating starts with hands-on discovery

At HUSKS, we believe children learn best by exploring things for themselves.

That goes for mealtimes just as much as for playtime.

Looking at, touching, smelling, and tasting new vegetables. Helping to wash produce or stir ingredients together.

These simple, everyday moments help foster a relaxed and positive relationship with food.

With “Groente voor kids”, healthy eating becomes an enjoyable, natural part of your routine.

Because in the end, it’s not about perfection every single day, but about enjoying varied meals together and giving your child room to discover what they like.
