The Wheat Foods Council Cookbook Wants You!
AddThis Social Bookmark Button

In the spirit of inspiring family time together in the kitchen and at the dinner table, the Wheat Foods Council is putting together an educational cookbook, led by chef and mother of three, Gale Gand, that will emphasize a parent's role in a child's diet. The idea is that parents will use the cookbook as a tool to teach their children about nutrition, serving sizes, and where different foods comes from.

You can submit your favorite (and nutritious) wheat-based recipes for a chance to be published alongside those of Chef Gand. [30 recipes from parents will be combined with five exclusive creations from Chef Gand.]

Interested? Here's what you need to know:

  • The call for recipes at www.wheatfoods.org began September 1, 2007 and closes JANUARY 31, 2008.

  • Recipes in the categories of breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert and snacks must meet the following criteria: wheat-based, nutritious, child-friendly, and relatively easy to prepare.

  • Parents are asked to also provide personal tips for encouraging children to make healthier food choices.

  • The cookbook will be available at www.wheatfoods.org in May 2008.

What's in it for you?
Chefs behind the selected recipes will be acknowledged in the cookbook and receive a complimentary copy signed by Chef Gale Gand.

What a great idea. It's about time we started educating parents and children about the importance of whole foods.
