can i put red wine in our casserole and still give some to dd?

[dcb]

dh thinks not - i think i can. isn't all the booze evaporated and made harmless (but still much tastier than without)?....

[Walnutshell]

Um, well I would!

Perhaps I should ask how old dd, how much wine etc... but I'd probably just do it!

[Flame]

Yup, you can.

Or I do anyway

[TinyGang]

Yes I think the alcohol evaporates or something.

[melpomene]

Yes, the alcohol evaporates so it is safe. I think I did this from about 1 year old.

[Walnutshell]

And yup - most alcohol evaps during cooking.

[Tigana]

I would.
Perhaps a smaller slosh than normal, just in case?
DS is almost 2 and LOVES the white wine, cream a garlic sauce we have with mussels. Have not notice slurring of words or wobblier than normal walking afterwards!!

[Walnutshell]

Oops, sorry - repeating comments! But obvious consensus is plonk in the plonk. Happy eating.

[Walnutshell]

Lol, Tigana. But do you get a better night's sleep, because if so, bring on the white wine sauce!

[benandalex]

i give my 2 a port or red wine casserole i do but i cook it very slowly over 3-4 hours and all the alchol has def evaporated

[alarkaspree]

I would too. You are right that the alcohol will evaporate, it will be harmless and introduce her to a wider range of flavours. And you will enjoy it more.

[dcb]

thanks! v.quick. am going to be domesc godess and cook dinner while dd is asleep (erm well that's the idea anyway). that way i can eat and be in bed for 9 without feeling sick - in preparation for our 5am wakeup/

[Tigana]

(he is a right buggar, won't eat the mussels just the sauce. But does use an empty mussel shell to scoop up the sauce in true native fashion!)

[Flame]

Can I come to your house for mussels??

[Walnutshell]

Cute! Although mussels - yuk, but ds is quite welcome to em.

[PinkTulips]

i do it and ds is just fine

booze evaporates and just leaves the yummy taste.
