Inspired Meals That Will Compel Even the Toughest of Tyrants Children
Any parent will tell you that raising dictators… errr, children … can be challenging. Thankfully Jenny Mollen — New York Times bestselling author, media darling, and Instagram personality behind @dictatorlunches — takes the power struggle out of mealtime with this inspired collection of 40 recipes, from filling breakfasts to healthy snacks, dinners, and desserts—with a special emphasis on solving the age-old problem of school lunch.
Dictator Lunches will soon become your secret weapon in the kitchen. Mollen shares her foolproof method for packing winning lunches along with easy-to-master techniques that will transform ordinary ingredients into adorable edible art. With her trademark playfulness and whimsy, Mollen turns meals into feasts fit for any autocrat, no matter how demanding.
“Sid, or, as I lovingly refer to him, ‘the dictator,’ rarely finishes any meal, and that’s okay. My goal isn’t to stuff him like a foie gras goose, it’s just to expose him to things and, truth be told, to entertain him. That is how empires are won and salad eaters are made: brick by brick, seaweed snack by seaweed snack.”

“With her signature cool-mom vibes and boundless wit, Jenny spares us the daily struggles and tackles our most tyrannically tough customers’ taste buds with meals that are inventive, easy, and will actually be eaten! As a mom of four, I love Dictator Lunches for the way it approaches nutritious, delicious food with plenty of creativity and laughs—so that even if we lose a few I-hate-broccoli battles, we may ultimately win the (happily adventurous, healthy eater) war!”
