Résumé :

What should children eat and why? How should they eat it, and what should they learn about food? Answers to questions like these have differed over time. First Helpings explores the relationship between children and food in history, drawing on a rich variety of social records, cookery and etiquette books, and children's literature. Topics covered include breast/bottle feeding, the difference between adult and children's food and drink, table manners, school meals, and learning to cook.
