Many parents find that around the age of one, their child suddenly changes from being a good eater to going on virtual hunger strike.

Annabel Karmel is the mother of three young children and she knows how difficult it can be to ensure a healthy diet for the whole family. "Small Helpings" is a complete guide to feeding babies and children with recipes covering everything from weaning to packed lunches and meals for the whole family.
