My daughter is mad about cheese. I don’t mind giving it to her occasionally but as it is has a high salt content I prefer not to give it to her all the time! I have enjoyed cooking with polenta for a while. I like using the fast cook grain rather than the ready made…

Sugar content in fromage frais and yoghurt for children & babies
What are the healthiest fruity yoghurts for babies? I am so confused or at least I was before I started researching! Up until now I have been buying plain yoghurt for my daughter and adding my homemade fruit purées but other day I decided to buy some little pots of fruity fromage frais. I stood…
Tahini chicken skewers with grilled vegetable couscous
Tahini is one of the ingredients I have rediscovered recently. You can use it for so much more than just hummus, it’s great for sauces and works well with meat. My tahini chicken skewers recipe is more suitable for toddlers than small babies. Most babies could have it but you have to be careful as…
Apricot yoghurt cake (Sugar-free)
Making a sugar free cake or pudding is not that easy! It’s taken a few attempts to get it right. But finally, I am really happy with this recipe. It’s a light spongy healthy dessert. A pudding the whole family can enjoy as it doesn’t contain any refined sugar. The natural sweetness of the dried…
Amaranth porridge with prunes stewed in malt

You don’t have to do that though and you could cook it straight away. So, on a snowy Sunday morning we all sat…
French toast with blueberries & Greek yoghurt
I started having this French toast recipe when I was pregnant and I still love it now. It’s a real treat for breakfast on a lazy Sunday. I adapted the recipe from the yummy mummy pregnancy cookbook and have tweaked it again to make it more suitable to babies. Eggy bread is a great finger…
Maybe we should be eating more amaranth?
Wheat is everywhere. We eat so much of it! Bread, Cakes, Pastries, Pasta, even couscous… World wheat production is predicted to be near record this year as we are expecting to produce 690 million tons of it. We are mad on the stuff. It’s not a new thing but I’ve been reading more and more…
Broad bean purée and sardines on toast
This recipe has become a firm favourite in our household, on a night when the fridge seems bare and we haven’t got round to doing the food shopping yet. It only uses cupboard ingredients and is quick to make yet so tasty. Best of all, sardines are apparently one of the best fish for your…
