​Chef Gigi Gaggero’s “Food Fight for Parents of Picky Eaters” Wins a National Parenting Product Award! by Donna John

For 29 years, the National Parenting Product Awards (NAPPA) has been a go-to source for parents looking for the best products for their kids and families. Their focus is on family and they have a simple mission: find and showcase the best toys, baby and family products. Pretty cool, right? What’s even cooler is that our very own 30Seconds contributor, Chef Gigi Gaggero, has won a NAPPA award for her book, Food Fight for Parents of Picky Eaters!

In the book, Chef Gigi helps parents take mealtimes back and uncovers the habits that can inadvertently reinforce picky eating. Parents also learn the science behind flavor and how to add umami to kid’s meals to encourage adventurous eating. And don’t forget the recipes! "Food Fight for Parents of Picky Eaters" has over 60 easy-to-prepare recipes that the entire family will look forward to eating. Here are a couple of the comments from the award evaluations:

“I think that the time Gigi Gaggero took to thoroughly explain the root of picky eating, the science behind it, and the advice she gives is great. My book is highlighted like crazy! She gives practical reasons to why our common mistakes don’t work (i.e. bribery, threats, coaxing, disguising foods) and gives solid advice on how to approach mealtime so it doesn’t seem so daunting.”

“I’m looking forward to trying out more recipes in the book. I’ve started off with breakfast, and have made the peanut butter and jelly smoothie and the breakfast quesadilla. With both of these foods, my 5-year-old was apprehensive to say the least; however, because he was able to help me prepare them and because I gave him close-ended choices (as the book recommends), he ended up eating and enjoying both!”
