Fish-based recipes

Abstract

Appropriate and adequate dietary intake for pregnant and lactating women and also infants and young children is critical for optimal child growth and development. This booklet serves as a guide for staff from government agencies and nongovernmental organizations to integrate fish-based recipes into nutrition programs that aim to improve dietary and child feeding practices in Zambia. The nutritional needs of pregnant and lactating women and their infants and young children were central to the development of this booklet, which focused on the role of small fish species in maternal and child nutrition. The recipes can be modified based on the seasonal availability of foods.
