The book was published by a JICA Project, TANSHEP in collaboration with the District Offices of the Ministries of Agriculture and Health to encourage vegetable consumption among Tanzanian consumers, with an aim of expanding vegetable markets and improving nutrition status of mothers/expecting mothers and infants. It introduces various combination of vegetables and meat with new cooking methods to maximize impact of and not to lose the nutrient value. The cookbook was used in the vegetable consumption campaign in September 2022 in Meru District Council, Moshi DC and Lushoto DC and such demonstrations were received very positively. "It is a good idea to puree all vegetables using a blender. Vegetables are dissolved into a potage and my children would enjoy eating it without recognizing vegetables", remarked one of the beneficiaries. All the recipes in this book are using nutrient-dense vegetables which TANSHEP farmers are producing or potentially producing in the future. -JICA Press Release, October 31, 2022
