Synopsis (short abstract) This Manual targets all professionals engaged in the improvement of family and child nutrition in Cambodia. It is specifically tailored to the needs of community workers from agriculture, women’s affairs and health and other development agents working with women, families and community groups. The aim of the Manual is to provide professionals with the basic principles of promoting good dietary practices using locally available nutritious foods that are in season, focusing on the prepar ation of safe and nutritious complementary foods for children 6 to 23 months of age. The publication is divided into five main parts, covering the different types of food and their functions, with an emphasis on key nutrients; the food needs of especially vulnerable groups, such as women and young children; food safety and personal and household hygiene; recommended feeding practices and recipes for infants and young children less than two years; and finally, how to conduct nutrition al counselling and cooking demonstrations. We hope that the information in this Manual will guide community workers in helping families to improve the feeding of infants and young children and thereby contribute to reducing malnutrition and improving the health of children and families in Cambodia.

Breastmilk alone is ideal to start a child s life. It should be fed alone for the first 6 months of life. However, after this period additional foods are needed. The foods that are given in addition to breastmilk are called complementary foods. To make sure that young children grow well and stay healthy, they need complementary foods that are nutritious and safe and are fed in adequate amounts. This recipe booklet fills an important gap: it provides information and guidance on th e selection and preparation of locally available, nutritious and safe complementary foods that are easy to prepare for feeding infants and young children, aged 6 to 24 months. It is aimed at community nutrition promoters, peer educators and other development agents from the health, community development and agricultural sectors working with family and community groups.
