I’m finding it really hard to find meals everyone will eat, can you share some family friendly recipes?

 

My answer to this question, which I get asked regularly, is yes and no!

 

No because I’m not a fan of children’s food or kid’s menus and because I don’t advocate only preparing meals I know children will eat. Children need to be regularly exposed to a wide variety of foods and flavours and this can only happen if we’re serving a good range of meals which include new and unfamiliar foods prepared in a variety of ways. 

 

Yes because any recipe can be family friendly. There are no set rules to make one meal more family friendly than another – a meal which your family may find a challenge could be another family’s favourite. 

 

All meals can be made family friendly just by the way in which it is served. Pairing new and unfamiliar foods with liked and familiar ones allows you to serve any meal to your family and ensures there is something to please everyone. Serving the component parts of the meal separately and allowing everyone to help themselves will go a long way towards a successful mealtime too.  

 

So for recipe ideas, why not head to the recipe section of my website where you’ll find loads of recipes which I serve to my family regularly.
