Thermomix cooking for your baby & toddler by Louise Fulton Keats

It?s about time we got a baby and toddler cookbook for the old Thermomix. I wish there were more cookbooks for the Thermomix lovers out there. Especially when it comes to dinner time for the family. That is when my Thermomix really comes into it?s own and helps me get a super fast dinner on the table while I?m off doing other things ? like entertaining children and trying to keep them busy.

I was sent the latest Thermomix cookbook, ?Thermomix Cooking for your Baby & Toddler? by Louise Fulton Keats (granddaughter of THE Margaret Fulton) and it?s a great addition to your little home library. There are loads of great recipes for babies and toddlers but as soon as I opened the book I went straight to the family meal section. And started working out what I was going to make for dinner. Top of my list to make were the sausage rolls (great to keep in the freezer and also for kids parties), prawn and fish wontons, ricotta and spinach ravioli, carrot cakes with lemon cream cheese frosting and crunchy fish fingers (no more fish fingers from a packet).

The recipes are definitely what your little ones want to?eat and what will also?keep everyone in the family happy. There is even a macaroni cheese recipe which of course I will have to make however much it pains me because my lot would eat it 7 days a week. Retro daddy will eat something else because after 6 years of making it he is well and truly over macaroni cheese/tuna macaraoni/ any other variation I try on the old mac n cheese.

There is a really great page in the book about what foods to avoid, what age and the reason why. The start of each chapter also includes helpful advice and it was informative without being too long or indepth to read. It was also up to date. I think even mums second (or third or more) times around will learn a thing or two as well.

We road tested the sausage rolls and they were a winner. There is no salt or seasoning in the recipe so emerson ate 2 of the rolls and next time I?might just season the mince for the adults as retro daddy and I love a bit of salt and pepper in ours. Huge hit and I got 3 trays of sausage rolls out of the recipe.

All?in all this was?a great book to keep in your kitchen if you have little ones in your house. My thermomix cookbooks are all in pretty high rotation in my kitchen but it?s the old favourites that really keep the family happy and I love how this book has some great new recipes that I know I?ll be making time and time again.
