Looking for a cooking course for mums

[treehugga]

I like to think I can cook, but apparently my toddler thinks otherwise and only wants bread or toast at a push. Add to that our childminder (3 days per week) is fixated on feeding DD chicken nuggets etc, and DP thinks healthy family eating is only half a jumbo bag of jelly babies. Have hit on the idea that we all go on a cooking course. Still need to sell this in to the CM, but think she will be into it as I know food is an issue with her other parents too and we get on well. So I've been searching online for London or SE courses for mums and can't find anything. There's loads of stuff for kids but that's really not what we're looking for right now. Any ideas?

Hmm. Do you really need a cookery course?

Toddlers are fussy, but if you stick to the rules, you should start to get somewhere. Can you all eat together? Can you stick to your guns, offer a healthy meal and no snacks? That kind of thing?

Does DP cook? Can you talk to him to buy into the idea of healthier eating? I'm guessing he doesn't really think jelly babies are healthy.

As for the CM, again, it's not on that she's giving crap. Does she give ok stuff around the chicken nuggets? Can the other parents lobby her a bit?

I just suspect that you could go on all the cookery courses you want, but you can only actually change what you're putting on the table. You'll still need to get your DP / CM on board.

why don't you look at mydaddycooks.co.uk lots of really nice toddler-tested recipes, you can watch the video online and then make alongside.
