Those who love tasty food will probably enjoy this book. The Man Who Ate Everything by Jeffrey Steingarten | PenguinRandomHouse.com |
I have 2 sons who enjoy all kinds of food and a daughter who does not. So I'm not so sure it's simply exposure. I always had to cook 2 kinds of meals, one with and one without, fish and meat, spicy and not spicy.
