I tried to get as much inspiration as I could to come up with ever-new recipes for her. I read numerous baby food cookbooks, from Annabel Karmel’s books to Bébé Gourmet and Around the World in 80 Purées. Every day I tried to give her something new, which meant that soon I started to experiment with flavors, adding herbs and mild spices to her purées with the aim of really awakening her palate. So, when Maxine was ready to start solids, I bombarded her with lots and lots of fresh vegetables and fruits from the very beginning. The key was to expose to her to a huge variety of fresh ingredients and a range of different tastes, textures, and flavors to get her used to eat healthily and regularly experiencing new foods right from the very beginning.

I realized that as a parent I had the power to teach my child to love healthy eating and to be open to trying new foods. I read a lot of books and scientific papers, and I came to understand that like so much in life, eating habits are learned. So, I put my journalistic skills to work and started doing an enormous amount of research into what determines our food likes and dislikes, trying to understand why some children are better eaters than others.

I’d seen first hand from friends and family what terribly fussy eaters children can be, and it was my biggest nightmare to end up with a child who hates vegetables and refuses to try different foods. When I became a mother, I knew that I wanted to pass my love of food onto my daughter, Maxine. I also love to cook, and feasting with friends and family is a regular ritual in my home. I’m a hugely passionate foodie and through my work have been able to fulfil my dream of traveling and eating my way around the world, meeting top chefs and dining in amazing restaurants. My background is in journalism and I have been a food writer for more than a decade. Kerstin, please share your story with us. Today we’d like to introduce you to Kerstin Kuhn.
