Thanks to Avocados from Peru for sharing their recipe ideas
Avocados are versatile: you can eat them mashed, diced or sliced. They are a healthy ingredient you can use in a plethora of summer dishes, on toast for breakfast, in cakes and even as a nutritious baby food – they are not just for making guacamole. Hass avocados are the most popular variety of avocado in the world – due to their creamy texture and nutty flavour. This variety can be easily identified by its purplish black colour and bumpy skin. Hass avocados from Peru are widely available in the UK from May until late September.

[…] When my daughter was 6 months I decided to try the baby-led weaning, it seemed to make sense to get them to explore foods, textures and choose what they want to eat.

I didn’t just choose the solid foods, I mixed it with purees just because she liked eating them but added in things like cucumber, bread sticks, houmous, banana, strawberries, grapes (cut in half, length ways to avoid chocking), blueberries and then moving on to broccoli, cauliflower, carrots sticks, sardines on toast, quinoa, rice and pasta. There are some good books telling you what to introduce and when as certain foods should be introduced as they get a bit older and some tasty recipes like Avocado, chicken and potato puree. […]
