The Flavour Academy is a fun family cook book, featuring over 300 recipes to help all ages explore taste, texture, and flavour. Based on Zenia’s extensive knowledge of food and sensory sciences, the recipes are designed to help families introduce their children to a wide range of foods and develop positive eating habits from six months onwards. Every recipe includes an ingredient that can be used as part of either spoon-fed or baby-led weaning, and there is a whole chapter of tips and advice for parents to guide and inspire them on this journey.
Much more than a recipe book, The Flavour Academy is packed with fascinating information about how our five senses work in relation to the food we eat. It’s a brilliant resource for new parents, families, and anyone who is interested in why we like what we like when it comes to the dinner table. Home cooks of any skill level can use The Flavour Academy to transform everyday mealtimes into fun, exciting experiences that offer nutrition and nourishment in more ways than one.
