Cooking for Children
One of the presents we were given was a book of recipes for babies and toddlers. Written by Lizzie Vann and called Organic baby and toddler cookbook, it’s got an excellent guide to weaning and nutrition as well as some tasty dishes.
Emma’s not quite up to eating solid food yet but we thought we’d give some of the preschool meals a go to get some practice in before she gets to that stage. Last night we had spicy bean burgers and they were delicious. I think the 15 minutes preparation time that the book gave was a little optimistic as it took quite a while to grate a carrot, make breadcrumbs, chop an onion and a pepper, mash lots of hard beans with a fork, etc, especially with a child to keep checking up on. However, maybe she bargained on you having a preschool child to help out. Next up will be the fruity cakelets I think and perhaps the vegetable and coconut korma.
