A New Attitude Already?

 We just took a trip to Sainsbury's (other supermarkets are available - hehe!) to pick up some things for our holiday.

While we were there, there was a little stand giving out free samples of chicken tikka with pitta and tzatziki - complete with cucumber pieces.

Penny asked for everything - I think unaware that the cucumber was in the dip - and popped all of it in her mouth.

We waited with baited breath for her to discover the offending article and spit it out, but instead she chomped the whole lot down and declared it delicious! (As did Harriet, and cucumber is one thing she genuinely doesn't like.)

We then told Penny that she'd eaten cucumber she said "Do you know what? I could feel it! But I still liked it."

A very positive attitude!

    Well done Penny, could you have gone back for more. The possibility of mixing with spicy food to get used to the texture first ….has just been opened. Proud of you x

    That’s a good start Penny, well done. Don’t be afraid to give something a try. You won’t like everything at first but try them all and see what you do like. My favourite is bacon. Oops! Only joking it’s potatoes, carrots with honey and parsnips roasted. Nom nom!
    Send me your favourite recipe and instructions when you find one and I’ll cook it and post some pictures.
    Keep up the good work.
    Benjamin.

Celeriac - half potato, half celery?!

Image
  I will admit that Penny didn't choose this freaky looking vegetable from the list. I bought it because I wanted to try it, but in the spirit of things Penny was happy to give it a try. I wanted to make celeriac and potato bake which seemed easy (because what I probably should have said from the start here is that I am NOT the best cook!) To make the bake from the GBVC book we first had to make a celeriac purée (also from the GBVC book!) Celeriac Purée (serves 4 as a side) 1 large celeriac, peeled & cubed Juice of one lemon 50g butter 100ml half-fat crème fraîche Salt & ground black pepper to season Bring a pan of water to the boil and add the celeriac cubes and lemon juice. Boil the celeriac for 15-20 minutes until tender then drain well. Put into a food processor or bowl for hand blending. Add butter - which will melt with the hot celeriac - and crème fraîche and blend until the celeriac is smooth and you have a nice purée. Season with salt and ground pepper. NB: we used...

Post-Holiday Vegathon

Image
 We've been away on holiday to Disneyland Paris this past week and we didn't want to spend the whole time trying to convince Penny to eat veggies. We mentioned it a couple of times but she said no on the grounds that 1) we were on holiday and 2) we were in another country. (Tell us in the comments if you can find another "Friends" reference hiding in that lot!) We did worry a little bit that she wouldn't want to continue, but when we got home and asked the girls what they wanted for lunch, they said pasta bolognese. Normally we would hide the veggies in the sauce, but this time we decided to ask Penny which vegetables she would like to put in the sauce. She chose onion, carrots and peppers. She helped Stephen with the preparation and when we sat down to eat, she practically inhaled her bowl of pasta, asked for more and finished her sister's portion too! It was only halfway through that Stephen suddenly apologised to us all that there w...
