From the beginning
If you’re a first-time parent embarking upon weaning, take a look at our simple weaning guide on pages 10–11. Our tips provide the essence of how to introduce an exciting array of foods to your baby from their first mouthfuls. If you have a toddler and a baby and want to make meals that will accommodate both, look out for the easy to ‘mash down’ icon (see opposite), which flags up the recipes that are also great to mash for your tiny family members.
Getting stuck in
Tots and toddlers make wonderful helpers, and at Ella’s we believe that messiness is all part of the fun: there’s lots to stir, mix, squish, pour, squeeze and decorate. We love it when little fingers are prepared to feel the textures of different foods during the cooking process and then make foods look beautiful on the plate – even if that’s just arranging fruit slices in a pattern.
Lots of the recipes have suggestions for how little ones can help; not to mention our inspirational activity pages, which are intended to create general excitement about the world of food.
At the end of the book there are some handy stickers. You can use them as rewards for your children for super helping or fabulous eating and as markers for their favourite recipes, too.
A bit about using this book
We hope that this book is far more than just a cook book. It’s about encouraging your children to embark upon a lifetime’s adventure with food. As you involve them in every step of the cooking process, you’ll help them to develop food confidence. Their curiosity will turn them into excited culinary explorers – they’ll want to smell, touch and taste the ingredients and they’ll love how foods transform during cooking. By taking time to follow a recipe together, you are sharing quality time during which you laugh together, enjoy each other’s company and make something yummy.
