Mum of two Hillary Graves set out to change that when, in 2006, she set up Little Dish, the first range of fresh and healthy meals for toddlers with no salt or sugar added, a perfect alternative to home-cooking. Sales reached £5 million in 2009 and over 60,000 kids tuck into Little Dish meals each week.
Now Hillary has shared her quick and healthy recipes in The Little Dish Favourites Cookbook. With 70 foolproof recipes ranging from Easy Fish in Foil to Proper Bolognese and including favourites from the existing Little Dish range, Hillary makes cooking nutritious and tasty foods for little tummies easy for parents everywhere.
Using fresh ingredients, Hillary’s recipes are designed to appeal to even the most reluctant eaters - each one is tested by a panel of kids.
The book covers essential first purées for baby, as well as a wide range of main family meals and delicious healthy treats which provide essential nutrients for your growing child.
A keen cook and a busy working mother, Hillary, 39, lives in West London with her husband and sons Monty, 3, and Ridley, 1, both enthusiastic tasters.
Little Dish is the first brand to launch a range of fresh and natural meals for toddlers, offering a truly healthy alternative to home-cooked food. Little Dish meals use only 100% natural ingredients and have no added sugar or salt.
There are 8 Little Dish recipes to choose from: Cottage Pie, Chicken & Butternut Squash Pie, Mild Chicken Korma, Fish Pie, Pasta with Cheese, Peas & Broccoli Trees, Vegetable Lasagne, Salmon & Broccoli Pasta Bake and Pasta Bolognese.
