Resources

These pages are a mixture of our own resources, and those we have found from other people and organisations. Some resources here have been provided by practitioners and parents who have tried and tested them, but you will have to assess for yourself the benefits for your own children and whether it will meet the guidelines you are working with.

Some resources are created by food industries. While they are not allowed to promote intentionally inaccurate information, they will naturally wish to promote their product as the most important part of the diet. However some of the resources they provide are very good when used in context. Wherever I am aware that a resource is industry sponsored I will say so, and you can exercise your common sense in evaluating it.

Little Foodies Recipe of the Month - April - Rhubarb Cookies

100g butter

200g sugar

1 egg

225g plain flour

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp nutmeg

1 tsp cinnamon

200g rhubarb, chopped into small cubes

100g raisins

2 tbsp milk

 

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C / 350 degrees F / Gas Mark 4.

Mix the butter and sugar together until they are quite fluffy. Add the egg and mix.

Add the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and nutmeg, chopped rhubarb and raisins and mix well. The mixture will be quite dry and lumpy.

Add the milk and mix. It should be JUST wet enough to clump together without being sticky – if you need to, add one more tablespoon.

Put egg sized piles of the mixture onto a greased baking sheet. Cookie dough spreads and flattens as it cooks so leave some space around each pile.

Cook for 12-15 minutes until golden but not brown.

TIPS
Don’t expect cookies to be firm when they come out of the oven – leave them on the tray to cool and they will firm up. If you cook them until they are firm they will be dry and brittle when they cool down.
