Cottage Loaf
A mash-up of British classic Cottage Pie and American Meatloaf that is perfect for little hands. This recipe makes a large loaf, but it freezes really well if needed. You could do a ‘shepherds’ version by switching to lamb mince and adding mint too.
Slow Cooked Pulled Pork ‘n’ Beans
This dish is slower in sugar than traditional pulled pork recipes and is soft and ‘grab-able’ for babies. I like to serve it with tortilla wraps and guacamole.
Tomato, Spinach and Ricotta Spaghetti
Spaghetti is a fun choice for Baby Led Weaning. Let your baby get stuck in, or twizzle some around a toddler fork and place it down as you would a loaded spoon. Most babies figure out their own way of eating it though! This recipe takes little more than the time it takes to cook […]
Chicken and Aubergine Passanda
There is no reason why a baby can’t enjoy the flavours of Indian cooking when you make it yourself.

Lamb Biryani
This recipe is great for first attempts at spoon feeding, or you could offer on loaded spoons. Top with chilli flakes for grown ups!
Smokey Pork Burgers
Juicy, perfectly spiced burgers! Slice into fingers for babies (serving the extras as sides) and serve in a bun for adults. This recipe typically makes around six decent sized grown up burgers. If you don’t need that many, you can freeze the patties prior to cooking.
Slow Cooked Lamb Kleftico
This is my little girl’s absolute favourite dinner! Slow-cooking makes the meat so soft and so much easier to eat. We have family in Greece so eat a lot of Greek-inspired meals. I hope you enjoy this traditional lamb stew. We like it with pan fried green beans and aubergines.
Slow Cooked French Pork and Beans
Pork can be particularly challenging for babies to eat. Slow cooking makes a big difference to its texture. Enjoy this French-inspired recipe with creamy mash and soft green beans.
Squidgy Chilli Nuggets (or chilli and sweet potato wedges)
This is a two-in-one recipe! I never cook more than one meal, but sometimes you just need to make a tiny tweak for a dish to be that little bit more baby friendly.
Turkey Meatballs in Roasted Vegetable Sauce
Turkey is so nutritious and can easily become dry, but these meatballs are perfectly juicy. The sauce is full of flavour and vitamins too. Just add pasta!
