Earl LeonardHey baby, what've you been cooking?

Good question. I've been very busy in the kitchen, actually...
I’ve steamed peas, beans, carrots, pumpkin, sweet potato, squash, broccoli, zucchini and cauliflower. I’ve stewed apple and pears, baked fish, boiled eggs yolk and fried minced lamb.
And I’ve mixed up batches of the above in various combinations, sometimes with rice or oat cereal or yogurt.
You guessed it.
I've been making baby food; lots and lots of baby food.
Jasper loves it (which makes sense, given how he's a baby and all).
Rach and I are quite lucky; one area we’ve definitely not had any problems in is getting the little fellow to eat, and eat well, without ever over indulging I don't think.
He particularly likes sweet potato (his Granddad is so proud), pears and cereal, and the fish/pumpkin/zucchini combination.
It’s so gratifying preparing food for such and enthusiastic diner. And he’s getting to the age (9 months) where we can start getting more adventurous with the meals we serve. Rachel’s bought a new organic cook book specifically for that purpose. Some of the recipes look great, but I can’t remember what it’s called! (I’m at work on my lunch break) I’ll let you know, though.
Conversely the little piglet (according to the Chinese calendar anyway, though he seams more like a monkey to me) can handle more raw food and feed himself a bit now as well.
He likes strawberries, celery, and even fennel. He does enjoy gnawing on his rusks (he has been teething a bit recently) but seams to prefer banging them on the table to eating them.
One other thing he does love is Avocado (one of his mum’s favourite foods) and I love it as well. It’s basically the baby food of the gods; very little fuss and not too much mess. Relatively.
I can’t praise it enough.
However, I’d love to learn as many tricks as I can, so if any parents/carers find themselves reading this post, please share with me your baby food favourites. Jasper will really appreciate it, believe you me.
So yeah, that’s the main reason I haven’t had much other food on the brain to blog about. But I wouldn’t have it any other way!
