what my parents did with me when I was little was: I was obliged to taste everything, but if I really didnt like it, I didnt have to eat it. It required also honesty from my side and it will not work with every child. but it worked fine with me. I tasted. if I didnt like, I never had to eat it again, if I liked it, it went on the regular menu.

That is a good question and one that many parents over the years have stuggled with. That is why the cookbook decipitively delcious was written. i think you need to mix them in with foods that they like so that they dont really know they are eating them. Also persuade them to just have a bite of the veggies that way they can eat the foods they really enjoy. My son would not eat vegetables when he was younger but he eats them now.

Well, you could start a clean plate club like my mom did. But, the best way is to introduce your child to lots of different foods when they are little. Once they get past the stigma associated with vegetables, they might even enjoy them. Don't force the issue, or your children may resist eating vegetables to battle with you.
