I have not blogged for a long time and much has happened since. For this blog, the biggest change is that I am a parent now - still happily settled in Nairobi, Kenya.
Kenya's fruit & veggies are in season most year around. I am lucky to have direct access to world quality certified organic food straight from the farm.
The much dreaded introduction of solids to little ones, is literally a child's play here. Following the many popular baby weaning recipe books is a delight as everything suggested is available and in season. I don't even have to freeze and cook ahead - yet!
I have been following one of Annabel Karmel's many baby food recipe books, but have also recently stumbled upon Ahmed's Indian Super Meals for babies. Luckily, Kenya is also just as rich in cereals as she is in her veggies and fruits. Wimbi (red finger millet), is known as Nachni or Rage in Hindi, and a very popular and nutritious cereal in Kenya and India.
Being a young parent in Kenya has its ups and downs. Help & support is very family and community lead, however, feeding is hopefully going to be a small challenge in this journey.
