Junior foodies: Neven Maguire’s food bible
ONE of the best gifts I received when my first child was born was a copy of Annabel Karmel’s Complete Baby and Toddler Meal Planner. It was the first time I had come across the English baby-food guru and in the bleary-eyed fog of caring for a newborn, I didn’t realise how much I would come to rely on her book when I began weaning my daughter onto solids.
Now, puréeing parents can turn to our own homegrown baby food bible thanks to chef Neven Maguire. As well as running an acclaimed restaurant and cookery school in Blacklion, Co Cavan, plus writing cookbooks and making his television show Home Chef, Maguire has also found the time to put together the Complete Baby & Toddler Cookbook, €18.99, which features 200 quick and easy recipes.
