Book Hero thinking about your next read

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Color Taste Texture is an accessible family cookbook that offers solutions rather than tricks to empower the food-averse, autistic, and picky eater, featuring 46 recipes.

This much-needed cookbook combines tips and techniques with a dash of understanding about food aversion and how to help your kids—and yourself—cook beautiful meals in an empowering way. It is a groundbreaking resource for anyone who has ever been called "picky" or "discerning." Learn how to alter the texture or taste profile of a dish, or even fit it within a specific palette with a unique colour-coded guide.

Delicious, nutritious, and easily tailored recipes (including for gluten-free and vegan eaters) include:

  • the perfect smashed cheeseburger
  • Italian sausage and potato soup
  • the best omelette
  • stuffed focaccia
  • chocolate pinwheels
  • and dozens more

Professional chef Matthew Broberg-Moffitt's advice is broken down by category: The Five Tastes, Texture, Colour, Aroma, Presentation, and Plating. This addresses each and every aspect of food aversion. A Food Preference Profile and Worksheet is included for you and your child to quickly identify and summarise their preferences. Instead of leading to mistrust by disguising or slipping in foods your kids don't want to eat, this cookbook supports caretakers in a way that maintains a healthy relationship with food, and a joyful, less stressful experience around the table.
