The book

It was never the vegetable.
It was the method.

Ten vegetables you were taught to hate, cooked the one way that actually works. No coercion, no hiding greens in brownies — just the honest fix, so everyone round the table ends the meal having eaten them.

The Fussy Eater Fix is a short, straight-talking ebook for parents, partners, and anyone who has a "vegetable person" in their life and a dinner table that's become a negotiation. Each chapter takes one hated vegetable, shows you exactly why it went wrong on your plate, and fixes it — in the kitchen, in a few minutes, with the method that was missing all along.

What's inside

This first edition covers the ten vegetables with the strongest, most reliable redemption — the classics that almost everyone has been served badly. Each gets a full chapter: how you remember it, what actually went wrong, the fix that works, what to do when it still goes wrong, and how to win over a fussy eater.

Cabbage the smell isn't the veg — it's the water

Cauliflower from milky nothing to charred and nutty

Potato the pot of water was the villain

Swede neeps, rescued from the boil

Carrot the sweetness that boiled away

Peas already cooked — they just need heating

Spinach the flavour you poured down the sink

Cucumber an unsalted cucumber isn't a bad one

Tomato a logistics problem, not a vegetable problem

Broad Beans the skins were the problem, never the bean

Every chapter ends with a simple, tested recipe — the one that does the job — plus a practical tips section for the picky child in your house.

Why this one is different

It's honest. It tells you which fixes genuinely work and where the real limits are. No shame, no "just hide it."
It's about the method, not the vegetable. Boiling was the problem. The fix is a change of technique, not a change of palate.
It's short and usable. A chapter a night, a reliable recipe at the end, a dinner-table truce by Thursday.
It's written for real UK kitchens — with UK seasonality, real pans, and no impossible ingredients.

Feeling like these ten are just the sensible classics? That's the point. This first edition is built on the vegetables with the most reliable, best-understood fixes — the bookshelf starts here, and it starts honest.
