Recipes Your Baby Will Love
1. My First Beef Bolognese
A good way to introduce texture is to mix in small pasta shapes. Babies prefer an overall lumpy, soft texture rather than surprise lumps.
Prep: 10 minutes
Cook: 25 minutes
Best for: Babies between 6-9 months
Makes: 4 portions
Suitable for freezing
INGREDIENTS
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1 onion, peeled and chopped
- 1 stick celery, chopped
- 1 carrot, peeled and diced
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 125g (4½ oz) lean minced beef
- 400g can chopped tomatoes
- ¼ tsp chopped fresh thyme
- 2 tbsp pure, unsweetened apple juice
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan
METHOD
- Heat the oil in a saucepan. Add the vegetables and fry for 2 minutes.
- Add the garlic and the beef and brown the meat.
- Add the tomatoes and thyme, then cover and simmer for 20 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
- Blend for a few seconds so that everything is very finely choppped, then stir in the apple juice and Parmesan.
- Serve with small cooked pasta shapes.
2. Salmon, Tomato & Sweet Potato
It’s very important to introduce oily fish like salmon into your baby’s diet from 7 months. This is because oily fish is rich in essential fatty acids which are very important for your baby’s brain and visual development – a baby’s brain triples in size in the first year.
Prep: 2 minutes
Cook: 1 minute

Serves: 1-2
Suitable for freezing
INGREDIENTS
- 55g salmon fillet
- A small knob of butter
- 1 x 80g Organic Tomato, Sweet Potato & Cheese or Carrot and Lentil Sauce sachet
METHOD
- Put the salmon in a suitable dish for microwaving, dot with the butter, cover and cook for about 40 seconds or until cooked.
- Heat the sauce in a microwave or in a saucepan and blend with the salmon.
