How to please fussy eaters

How to please fussy eaters
Average rating: 4 out of 5 star rating

I let my kids choose a new vegetable to try when we go to the supermarket - they now like sweet potato, red cabbage and courgettes.

My daughter's a fussy eater, so most weeks I'll make a big bolognaise sauce and chuck everything I can lay my hand on in it: carrots, onions, peppers, mushrooms - all whizzed in the processor so she can't spot them!
Alison Bennett, 42, Dundee

My son isn't keen on most veg, so I grate them into his food and mash cauliflower into his potato. He'll also eat veg soup if I liquidise the lumps.

Try raw sticks of veg like carrot and red pepper with houmous to get your kids to eat their veg.

my son wont eat potatoes or any type of sauces so i cant mix any thing in he wont eat any thing mixed (he likes cake & custard but not together) so i find it very difficult to get him to try something new' he also smells everything.
