New hardcover book, 272 pages, published 2008.

Gina Ford’s bestselling The Contented Little Baby Book established Gina as one of the UK’s most influential voices in baby and childcare issues and her groundbreaking routines have been the salvation of hundreds of thousands of parents around the world.

In Feeding Made Easy Gina tackles one of the most problematic areas of parenting: how to give children a healthy, nutritious and tasty diet without mealtimes becoming a battleground. Her one-stop feeding guide is a parent’s lifesaver offering delicious, easy-to-prepare recipes for the whole family as well as rotating menu planners and shopping lists that enable time-strapped mums and dads to shop for and plan a month’s menus in advance.

Gina covers food for every occasion from quick and easy light meals such as sticky chicken thighs and homemade lamb burgers to mouth-watering twists on family favourites and healthy takes on fast food and after-school snacks, such as pizza, and carrot and honey muffins. She also offers invaluable advice on how to promote healthy eating, such as getting children involved in the choosing and preparation of food; how to tempt fussy eaters to expand their diet; and what to do when eating out or abroad.

Feeding Made Easy includes:

• Over 80 delicious, easy-to-prepare recipes for the whole family
• Helpful menu planners and shopping lists to help you plan and shop for a month's meals in advance
• Ideas for how to prepare healthy 'fast food' and how to make after-school snacks tempting and nourishing.

About the author

Gina Ford was born and grew up in the Scottish Borders. After studying Hotels and Catering in Edinburgh, she had an opportunity to become a maternity nurse and discovered her flair with babies. Over the course of her career, she has worked with hundreds of families with babies and small children. For twelve years she was one of the most sought-after maternity nurses in the world, and specialised in caring for newborn babies and toddlers with serious sleeping and feeding problems. Gina worked for all kinds of people, from leading lawyers and high-flying bankers to newspaper editors, pop stars and other media personalities.

The techniques, methods and common-sense approach that she developed over the years were so successful and in such demand, that Gina decided to offer her theories, not just to those who were in a position to hire her, but to all families who felt that her methods and routines might help them. In 1999 she published The Contented Little Baby Book. It was a runaway success, largely due to enthusiastic, word-of-mouth recommendation. Since publication, it has consistently been the best-selling parenting book in the UK, having sold over 500,000 copies to date. Gina has continued to assist parents, adding another 7 books to the Contented Baby & Toddler range
