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

Chilly Berry Tart

125g digestive biscuits
1 tbsp sugar
75g melted butter
225g cream cheese
225g crème fraiche
500g strawberries

Put the biscuits in a food bag and bash them with a rolling pin until they are crumbs.

Mix them well with the butter and sugar and put the mix into a 25cm ish wide dish.

Press the crumbs down well all over – use your knuckles or the back of a spoon.

Put the tart base in the freezer while you do the rest of the recipe.

With a fork, mash half the strawberries. With some help, slice the rest.

Mix the mashed strawberries, cream cheese and crème fraiche together. Add the sliced strawberries too.

Pour the creamy mixture on top of the biscuit base and spread around.

Put in the freezer for at least 6 hours until it is set.

Eat chilly!

TIPS
This recipe works just as well with frozen thawed berries in the middle of winter and with raspberries or mixed berries. You can use the thawed juices and don't need to mash the fruit.
