Ratatouille with Aubergine and Pork meatballs and gemilli. I’m having a vegetable stand off with my daughter right now that’s terribly frustrating and sometimes ends in tears (often mine). It can be almost impossible to ensure her 5 a day minimum as she will only 4 (apples, cucumber, broccoli- carrot at a push). Thank God she eats pretty much anything if it’s in a tomato sauce..I’ve been making…

Aubergine, paneer & spinach curry.

The kids won’t eat this but frankly were happier with yesterday’s spaghetti anyway.

Aubergine recipes abound on the gram right now.. everything from dazzling Turkish karniyarik @melizcooks with fragrant herby minced lamb to Spanish berenjenas con miel, sliced, floured and fried, drizzled with honey. Sichuan fish fragrant aubergines @fuchsiadunlop are melting…

5 ways with Bolognese…

No prizes for originality here but how can millions of children be wrong?

I was reading an @adinasteiman @foodandwine article about Marcella Hazan’s best recipes and I’m pretty chuffed to report that her Bolognese is my bolognese. Onions, carrots, celery. Minced beef. Salt. Milk. Wine. Tomatoes. 3 hours. Simplicity itself.. like all good food should be.

But if you want…

Getting your kids to eat more veg.

Part One.

Swipe for the before and after..

When they’re hungry and it’s mealtime, get used to doing the raw veg thing with a dip. The French do it very well obvs. Tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots and peppers work well, but you could also try raw cauli florets, mangetout, baby corn.. anything else lovely and crunchy.

Mix it up with the dips.. hummus can feature…

Probably the best lookin and tastin roast chicken ever. From Marcella Hazan’s bible of Essential Italian Cooking, it’s the best argument for a weekday roast ever. As with all her food, it’s careful preparation and attention to detail in the early stages of a dish that make it outstanding.

Literally chicken with two lemons. A good sized organic chicken (always thinking about leftovers) this one…

4 ingredients, 4 minutes hands on, 15 in the oven.

If you have a few courgettes on your hands today, please make this. The ratio of incredible flavour and deliciousness to labour is in your favour and it’s possible a child might eat it.

So many of you asked for the recipe after it disappeared from stories (I had forgotten once again to save) that I felt it was definitely feed material.

Rainbow wraps..

Getting away with interesting fillings for 5 years.

They look so gorgeous the kids will eat them up without dissecting hopefully. Mix some squished avo with cream cheese and spread across the wrap. Add fillings. Start out with tiny bits of everything if necessary, like a strip of chopped pepper or shredded lettuce. Roll ’em up and chop ’em like sushi.

Lunchbox win.

Turkey & courgette cakes.

One of our family faves.. also good for packed lunches.. make ’em for dinner, leftovers for lunch. They are full of protein, fibre and sooo delicious.

It’s an @ottolenghi original and takes 10 mins to put together. The recipe calls for fresh mint and coriander and while the cakes are elevated to ambrosial with these additions, I make them without more often than not,…

It can’t always be all about the kids, can it? I bought @meerasodha #east a few weeks ago and have been waiting for the opportunity to make her green curry. As it’s #nationalcurryweek the time is now right.

Such an easy dish with knockout flavours, and so versatile (I had none of the ingredients, literally.

Hers is a dish with burnished courgettes, aubergines, broccoli and mange tout. Mine was…

Cauli and coconut soup with warm spices.

Fastest soup ever. 5 mins hands on, 5 mins to finish.. (if you get that far, the roasted cauli is THAT good.

Had coffee with a friend recently who was saying that the problem with being vegetarian is that all meals start with loads of chopping and consequently been resorting to omelettes more often than is permissible. This is for you..

You might even…
