FOODIE BOOKS:
Not cookbooks, per say, but other books (memoirs, novels, short essays) centered around the joys of cooking and eating.
French Kids Eat Everything by Karen Le Billon
and
Bringing up Bébé by Pamela Druckerman
These two books would make an excellent gift for any soon-to-be-parent (or any parent, for that matter). Both are written by American women living in France, trying to raise their children to be well behaved and adventurous eaters, as most French children are. I read both of these around the time our toddler started on solid foods, and it has shaped the way we approach mealtimes, snacks, and good table manners. This is also a great book for parents who want to reform a picky eater!
