Moving her young family to her husband's hometown in northern France, Karen Le Billon is prepared for some cultural adjustment but is surprised by the food education she and her family (at first unwillingly) receive.

“It takes a brave couple to move two picky-eater kids to a French small town and convert them to foodie omnivores, but French Kids Eat Everything proves that it can be done. This book is a must-read for teachers and parents.”MARION NESTLE, Professor of Nutrition, and Food Studies at NYU, and author of What to Eat

“Humorous as well as instructive, this culinary adventure will change the lives of parents and children alike.”
PATRICIA WELLS, author of The Provence Cookbook

“A wonderful–and important–book. One family’s topsy-turvy culinary transformation becomes an in-depth exploration of the habits that have kept French kids loving food (and eating spinach) for centuries.”
ELIZABETH BARD, author of Lunch in Paris
