Family dinners with flexible plates

You do not need to mix every ingredient together. Start with one shared preparation and decide what to reserve before adding sauces or toppings.

  1. Start familiar. Include a food your child already knows.
  2. Reserve before mixing. Set aside plain pasta, rice or another shared component at the right moment.
  3. Let the plate vary. Serve sauces and toppings separately, with no pressure to taste.
