Anna Migeon

I was raised by a mom who never told me to clean my plate, which gave the desire to do just that. When I married a French man and spent five years raising my babies in France, I discovered a whole culture that revolved around the sacredness and joy of eating.

My kids, now ages 16 and 18, have always been "good eaters." They have never needed threats or bribes or discussion to eat Real Food, from organic to exotic. My favorite recipes are fast, easy, good-for-you and delicious.

I am passionate about practicing ways of feeding children that preserve their natural appetites and enjoyment of good things while nourishing their bodies and spirits.

The same principles of feeding the body also apply to feeding the mind. My goal is that the child not only ingest but develop a taste for all good things in life. The highest aim of all we teach our children, as Aristotle taught, should be that they come to take pleasure in good things--physical, spiritual and mental.
