Everyone

the type of person who would like to combine a trip abroad
with a delicious cooking experience, this is the prize for
you!
Like
most busy mothers, Sian
Blunos wanted to feed her baby well,
but as a trained chef, working alongside her
Michelin-starred chef husband, she didn’t have
a lot of free time. This is one of the recipes
she has created and published in her book entitled
Cooking for Coco
- to find out more have a look at the articler
under Interesting Bites <click

"This
is the ideal dish if you are pushed for time
and need to prepare something tasty quickly.
Coco loves it now but the first time she had
it at about 4-5 months, she spat it out all
over the floor - much to her two older brothers’
delight. Knowing that she got a great reaction,
this became a good game for Coco and poor Leon
and Max were ordered out of the room until Coco
had settled down".
Ingredients
2
x 7-ounce can tuna fish in either oil or water
1 12-ounce can corn
Small bunch chives, washed and chopped
1 pound potatoes, peeled and diced
2 ounces butter
Small amount of baby’s usual milk
Method
Drain
the tuna fish and corn. Blend both in food
processor along with the chives.
Cook
the potatoes for about 20 minutes until tender,
drain and mash with the butter.
Add
the tuna-and-corn mixture to the potato with
enough milk to get the correct texture.
Cool,
divide into portions and serve or freeze.
Technique
Tip:
With
most of these recipes you can use a food processor
or blender to produce a puréed mixture. However,
if you are using potatoes, you should add them
as small dice just before serving. If they are
blended, the starch they contain causes them
to break down into a gluey mess.
As
your baby grows and has more teeth, you can
mash or chop the food instead. The textures
will encourage your baby to chew. You will be
the best judge of when you can start to do this.
