Toddlers

​​​​​​​
Although toddlers can eat many of the same foods as adults, they can’t eat large amounts of food in one sitting despite needing to take in lots of calories.


They need snacks between mealtimes, but remember that healthier, homemade snacks are best, particularly things that are easy to make with your Braun Multiquick hand blender, such as vegetable dips to go with crudités or pieces of toast. By this stage, mealtimes should be a communal event where you all eat together. It is a great idea to try and create meals for your toddler that mimic what the other members of the family are eating. Remember though that your baby will still enjoy food being relatively soft and easy to eat.


So fussy!


​​​​​​​Unfortunately, it’s at the toddler stage that many parents start to experience the dreaded fussy eater. This may be less likely to happen however if the child has had exposure to a good range of individual foods at the early weaning stage. Praising your child when they do eat rather than becoming frustrated or even angry when they don’t is the best way to encourage a fussy child to broaden the range of foods it will eat. You can also experiment with how you present food. Try giving new foods with favourite foods or cutting food into exciting shapes. Remember babies will be watching what you eat, so try to set a good example. Gradually a child will develop a wider range of tastes making a balanced healthy diet much easier to achieve.

Cod with spinach topping

4 servings (2 children and 2 adults)
Prep time: 25 minutes
Baking time: 20 minutes

Ingredients
 
  • 450 g cod
  • Iodised salt
  • White pepper
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • 100 g spinach
  • 1 day-old roll
  • 120 g double cream cheese
  • 3 tbsp grated Emmental cheese
  • Rapeseed oil for greasing the baking dish

  1. Grease a casserole dish with rapeseed oil and preheat the oven to 200°C. Rinse the fish under cold water and pull out any bones. Season with salt and pepper and place in the casserole dish.
  2. Peel the garlic, then wash the spinach and spin it dry. Transfer both to the beaker and purée with the MultiQuick 5 Baby hand blender.
  3. Break up the bread into chunks and purée with the cream cheese. Season the paste with salt and pepper. Spread onto the fish using the spatula.
  4. Sprinkle everything with Emmental and bake in the middle of the oven for about 20 minutes.
  5. Serve with mashed potatoes.

Tip

Do not salt your child’s fish. It is also healthier for you to use salt sparingly.

en_ADP-ImgB_braun_recipes_baby-stage-05_spinach-pesto_1536x864_SM.png

Spinach pesto

6 servings
Prep time: 10 minutes

Ingredients
 
  • 200 g baby spinach
  • 20 g basil
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • 50 ml olive oil
  • 25 g pine nuts
  • 50 g parmesan, grated


Preparation

  2. Carefully toast the pine nuts in a non-stick pan without oil.
  3. Add all ingredients to the beaker and purée into a pesto with the MultiQuick 5 Baby hand blender.

Tip

This pesto goes superbly with pasta, but also tastes great on bread or as a salad dressing.

en_ADP-ImgB_braun_recipes_baby-stage-05_potato-pancakes_1536x864_SM.png

Potato pancakes

6 servings
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes

Ingredients
 
  • ½ of an onion
  • 350 g potatoes, peeled
  • Iodised salt
  • Black pepper
  • 1 tbsp rapeseed oil


Preparation
 
  1. Peel the onion, quarter and finely chop in the MultiQuick 5 Baby MQ 20 chopper accessory. Grate the potato. Combine with the onion. Lightly season with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the oil in a non-stick pan. Spoon small heaps of potato mixture into the pan and fry. Cook over low heat, covered, for about 10 minutes, then remove the lid, flip the potato pancakes and fry for an additional 5 minutes until crispy.

Tip

This goes well with a homemade, unsweetened apple sauce or purple fruit purée.

en_ADP-ImgB_braun_recipes_baby-stage-05_panna-cotta-with-raspberry-and-mango-puree_1536x864_SM.png

Panna cotta with raspberry and mango purée

Makes 4 servings
Prep time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 10 mins

Ingredients
 
  • 200 g whipping cream
  • 200 ml milk
  • 50 g sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla, ground
  • 3 sheets of white gelatin
  • 250 g raspberries
  • 1 mango
  • Juice from 1 lime
  • Sugar as needed
  • Lemon balm for garnish


Preparation
 
  1. Bring cream, milk, sugar and vanilla to the boil briefly, and then simmer over low heat for 10 minutes. Soak gelatin in cold water.
  2. Meanwhile, rinse and dry the raspberries. Set aside four particularly attractive raspberries for decoration. Using the MultiQuick 5 Baby hand blender, purée the rest of the raspberries with half of the lime juice.
  3. Remove the pit and peel the mango. Add the flesh of the mango and the remaining lime juice to a beaker and purée with the MultiQuick 5 Baby hand blender. If you prefer the fruit purée a little sweeter, you can sweeten it with a small amount of sugar.
  4. Press the water from the gelatine and dissolve it in the hot cream mixture. Pour the slightly cooled cream into four small glasses (120 ml) and chill for at least two hours.
  5. Loosen the panna cotta from the glasses and turn over onto dessert plates. Garnish with the fruit purée, the raspberries and the lemon balm.

Tip

Dip the glasses into hot water - this softens the cream around the glass and it will slide out easily onto a plate.
