id get them into adult ones straight away then.i find toddler ones can almost encourage (perhaps not on purpose)fussy behviours by gearing the food according to "toddlers" but if you can and they get excited bout new foods get them into adult cooking.they will love that too because its all 'grown up' like mummy and daddy.
usbourne cooks books for younger people are often quite good.and the good food website has loads of ideas to start slowly.
perhaps ask them to choose something then gear a recipe around it.

The River Cottage Baby and Toddler cookbook. It’s been a gem of a book for feeding my DC and it’s not too obviously ‘toddler’ food. It’s food for the whole family but with small kids in mind.

Totally agree with the River Cottage book above, it's full of every day-type food (the carrot soup and pancake recipes have become my standards). I barely cooked anything out of my Annabel Karmel books but use this one loads.

It also has loads of weaning advice if that's still relevant for you.

I have twins and from the very bloody beginning one was reluctant to try new foods and one was very enthusiastic. Keep trying your favourites! I weaned my on loads of mild curries but the fussy one still objects at 14!

HeyJudy - we have the blueberry pancakes every Saturday morning and have done for years! Aren’t they delicious.
And I know the carrot soup recipe you mention too - kids eat it no trouble. Another favourite is the homemade pesto. It’s a cinch and freezes in ice cube trays really well. My DC love it.
