It's not just what we eat but how we eat that shapes our families.
Dr Clare Bailey Mosley, her husband Dr Michael Mosley and their four children always shared family meals around their kitchen table. However hectic life became, sitting down to eat together was a priority which, Clare believes, helped to hold their busy family together.
But sharing food together can do more than strengthen family bonds. Evidence suggests this simple habit can help children do better in school and even improve the physical and mental health of both parents and children. Eating Together includes a step-by-step four-week plan, based on the success of their parentingmatters.co.uk parenting platform, to establish a regular mealtime habit, and table games that can distract fussy eaters and help families move on from food battles.
Recipes include:
- Crunchy chocolate spread
- Air-fryer chicken skewers
- Dhal with sweet potato
- Turbocharged porridge
- Cheddar and almond biscuits
- Protein-packed pasta dishes
Whether it's a quick midweek bite or a slow weekend dinner the magic isn't just in the menu. It's in the moments. Sitting at the same table means sharing more than food. It means sharing stories, laughter, eye contact and problems. It means building routines, resilience and connection. The effects can be powerful and far-reaching.
For parents and grandparents with children of all ages, this book offers advice on store cupboard essentials, guidance on what not to feed your children, tips on how to involve the whole family in the preparation and cooking process, and recipes for all occasions.
