Sustained Energy for Kids by Gabi Steenkamp, Tanzia Merlin & Jeske Wellmann

Sustained Energy for Kids: Yummy, Healthy Food That Kids Will Love by registered South African dieticians Gabi Steenkamp, Tanzia Merlin and Jeske Wellmann is a practical family cookbook designed around nutritious, child-friendly meals and the principles of sustained energy and low-GI eating.

The recipes were developed with South African families in mind and typically use readily obtainable local ingredients. Particular emphasis is placed on foods intended to help maintain steady energy and blood-sugar levels while providing appropriate quantities of fat, kilojoules and fibre. The recipes are designed to be both nutritionally considered and appealing to children, making Sustained Energy for Kids useful for everyday family meal planning rather than simply serving as a theoretical nutrition guide.

The authors also discuss nutrition in relation to children’s growth, development and physical activity. Their combined professional backgrounds give Sustained Energy for Kids a distinctly practical approach: Gabi Steenkamp has extensive experience with the Glycaemic Index and Glycaemic Load, Tanzia Merlin specialised in paediatrics and child nutrition, while Jeske Wellmann worked with schools and children’s dietary needs.

Colourful, accessible and specifically written for South African households, Sustained Energy for Kids remains a useful addition to a family cookbook collection, particularly for readers interested in balanced children’s meals and low-GI cooking.
