Introduction


One of the key things with parenting is ‘cooking’. I am sure all the mothers out there can agree with me, especially if you are on your own without the help of moms, moms in law, granny etc. You have to invent recipes by the day. The favourite dish one day would be untouched the next week.
There are also several stages – cooking for babies, toddlers, preschoolers and school age kids. With in these stages are the subclasses when they have gastro, fever, cold, cough and what not. Also each kid has a preference – some likes finger food, some like mushy food, most spit anything that is lumpy. I have spent a lot of time online, reference millions of web pages, blogs, books that I borrowed from friends, time I spend in book shop looking for books to cook for kids. Most importantly because my little girl goes to day care and likes the food they serve, hence dhal rice and curd rice are out of the picture. Now I need to bake, grill, blend and toss everyday and these are words that did not exist in my dictionary until 2 years ago !!!
Every conversation I have with other mothers will drive to “ so what do you cook for your kids” and trust me when I say “ every mom I speak to asks me the same.
So I thought why not host a blog to share the recipes I have learnt the hard way and also let the readers post their favourite recipe as well.
So here is a blog dedicated to all the moms.
