BET ON SOFTNESS AND COLORS!
Some vegetables have a softer taste in the mouth while
being colored like carrot, peas, tomato or pumpkin. Both characteristics appeal
to children. Note that fresh vegetables often have brighter colors and are
richer in nutrients.
On the texture side, children also enjoy sweetness like
purees, soups or smoothies to drink with a straw!
PLAY ON THE CREATIVITY AND PLEASURE OF THE EYES!
Because you also eat with your eyes, beautiful creative
plates will stimulate your children's appetite. Decorate your dishes in a
playful way to create a face, an animal, a flower, an object. Mice in the form
of radishes, ladybugs with cherry tomatoes and black olives, sailboats in
zucchinis or peppers ... ideas are not lacking!
MASTER THE ART OF CAMOUFLAGE!
Why not make use of dishes known and appreciated by
revisiting them? Do not hesitate to put some zucchini or sweet potato fries,
vegetable tagliatelle or endives mini-burgers!
Conceal vegetables in quiche or soufflé recipes (e.g.,
carrot souffle). Breadcrumbs is also an effective technique for disguising
vegetables. Kids love kibble and bread.
TRAIN YOUR APPRENTICE COOKS!
The ideal is to involve your children in the harvesting of
vegetables from the vegetable garden, or to make them walk through the market stalls
to arouse their curiosity.
In the kitchen, if the children get involved, they will be
eager to taste the dishes they will have participated in.
