This is what I make when my girls are poorly. It is so warming and comforting. I serve it thick for little ones but thin it out as you wish. This recipe cooks enough for two adults and two little ones, plus some spare.

Slow Cooked Smokey Beef Brisket

Cooking Time: 6 hours

Family Dishes

I love the flavours of Texan-style food, but a lot of recipes can be high in sugar and salt. Like my pulled pork recipe, this is sweetened with apple, rather than refined sugar. Serve with wraps and guacamole, or rolls and a fresh salad to pick at.

Steak with Cucumber Chimichurri

Cooking Time: 10 mins

Family Dishes

YES you can give your baby steak! Choose super high-quality, thin steak and cook it well (and by that I don’t mean cook it ‘to death’!). Steak Chimichurri is one of my favourite dishes, but in its original form would be too salty and spicy for a baby. This version...
