Do you have a child or children who are fussy eaters? My Zahra is such a fussy eater at the moment that dinner and lunch are getting to be really tedious for me! My problem or dilemma is having to cook dinner or lunch to satisfy everybody in the family. At the moment with Amin away things are not too complicated, but Fatin will always insist on having curry at least twice a week!! Once Amin comes back then "Mr sophisticated Jamie Oliver admirer" will either put up his nose at some dishes I have prepared and forces himself to eat them then he will proceed himself to whip something really fantastic to eat! Destroying my kitchen in the process!
Anyway for Zahra most of the time I have to have fried fish or fried chicken and stir fried brocolli on standby for as she will definately not touch the curry or even the soya chicken! Chips are one of her favourite and despite much cajoling when we serve it fish, she will not touch the fish and only eat the chips with tomato sauce and a bit of corn. Or if we are having roast chicken she would only eat 1 slice of chicken with 1 piece of potato!! Then later on she would insist on having her tuna sandwich!!! This is another favourite she loves Tuna sandwich and her most favourite food since she was a baby- Pasta - with or without sauce!!
My sister Maria has several Annabel Karmel books and I must admit the pictures and some recipes look really good. But I went through the book with Zahra just to get an idea what catches her eye and she was not impressed!! She simply said Ma I just want my pasta!!! That's Zahra for you I guess! Let's hope she will develop her taste buds soon and open up to try the other food served to the other members of the family!
