Give kids 5-a-day… in a chocolate drink?


By Andrew Wilson

You want your child to get all the nutrition they need, but they simply refuse to eat any fruit or veg. Encouraging children to eat a wide variety of foods can be a battleground and one faced by many parents at mealtimes.

So could the launch of new chocolate-flavoured drink Kidz 5 A Day help tackle the issue? The drink promises to give children all the vitamins and minerals they need for healthy growth – and kids love it!


While there is limited nutritional information about this product available on the Kidz 5 A Day website, the ingredients are essentially fruit and veg, which provide vitamins, minerals and phyto-nutrients. However, there is added cocoa (presumably to give it it’s chocolate flavour) and sea salt. 

Achocolate drink with extras might seem like a great option, but don't be tempted to rely on it as a replacement for fruit and vegetablesas such sweet-flavoured tactics may lead to bigger problems later. 

Regularly giving children drinks that taste of chocolate, for example, will encourage them to eat and drink more chocolate, which is not conducive to good eating habits. And trying to break these habits later in life can be very difficult.

However, forcing a child to eat fruit and vegetables may cause them to eat less of these healthy snacks, strengthening their preference for the unhealthy options you are trying to limit.

But don’t be disheartened – when a child is hungry, they will eat. If a new food is rejected the first time, offer it again later. The more often a child is offered something new to eat rather than told to eat it, the more likely they are to accept it. This could take several attempts – eight to 10 times – so patience is definitely required, but it will teach your child to choose healthy options. And remember, children will be more likely to try and enjoy new foods if they see their parents eating them.
Chocolate flavours aside, it is important for children to drink plenty throughout the day to prevent dehydration and tiredness. Water and milk are the most suitable options; pure unsweetened fruit juice, well diluted (one part juice to eight parts water), can be offered at mealtimes, but are not recommended between meals. Meanwhile, ordinary and ‘diet’ varieties of squashes, juices and fizzy drinks are best avoided, but if they are consumed, keep them to main meals only as they can erode the surface of the teeth.

Well bread


By Melanie Leyshon

The humble loaf is making waves, but not as we know it. Broccoli bread is the new low-calorie, low-carb, high-protein option, available in London, that will appeal to those Gwyneth Paltrow carb-o-phobes, who can afford to pay the minimum £20 charge for a special delivery (see planbread.co.uk).


We’re quick to blame bread for everything from bloating to weight gain, but eaten as part of a well-balanced diet it shouldn’t cause any ill effects. Even the Chorleywood process of breadmaking, introduced in 1961, which produces a low-cost loaf with a long shelf life in double quick time (often including flour improvers and additives) has its nutritional merits.

But if you have time, nothing beats a homemade loaf. It only takes four ingredients – flour, water, yeast and salt – to produce wholesome bread. And vigorous kneading will give your bat wings a workout at the same time.

Try the recipe below by Tom, the taller half of The Fabulous Baker Brothers. It’s made with spelt flour, an ancient wheat that some people find easier to digest. Tom claims his wife, a former bread phobic herself, is a convert. 

SPELT LOAF
Makes 1 LARGE LOAF

Tom: ‘Spelt is an ancient variety of wheat. It makes a loaf of substance, with a beautiful, nutty flavour, and it’s become popular over the past 15 years or so because it seems to be easier to digest for a lot of people – or so my customers say. It’s a bestseller in Hobbs House.’

For the spelt loaf
5g dried yeast (or 10g fresh)
300ml tepid water
250g wholemeal spelt flour
250g strong white bread flour, plus extra to dust
10g fine-grain sea salt

1 Mix the yeast and tepid water until the yeast has dissolved. Combine the flours in a bowl, add the dissolved yeast and the salt, and bring together into a raggedy dough. Tip it out on to
the work surface and knead vigorously for 15 minutes to make a soft, stretchy dough. Your dough will now be elastic, but not so elastic as regular wheat dough. Transfer to a bowl and cover it.
Allow to prove in a warm place until doubled in size (no more than 1hr).
2 Grease a large (2lb) loaf tin. Once the dough is proved, shape it into a firm ball between cupped hands, then place it on the work surface and gently roll with the flat of your hands until it is the length of the tin. Put it in the tin, cover and leave to prove for a further hour or until doubled in size.
3 Heat the oven to 230°C/210°C/gas 8. If you have one, put a baking stone into the oven to heat up at the same time.
4 Sprinkle the loaf with spelt flour and sea salt and transfer to the hot
oven (to the stone, if using). Spray the oven with water spray and close the door to create a crust. Bake for 30min. Remove the loaf from the oven, take out of the tin and leave to cool completely.

How to have a Scandi-style Christmas

While we all look forward to the festivities, the thought of impending overindulgence can seem daunting – especially if you’ve been working hard to eat healthily. But we just may have happened upon the perfect alternative Christmas dinner at a recent event with Scandinavian chef and author Signe Johansen, who indulged us in Christmas the Scandi way.
At the heart of the menu was minimal fuss and prep, just laid-back entertaining and great food. And with the Christmas lunch usually being a source of stress, we were all ears…



The alternative Christmas feast championed Norwegian salmon, kicking off with a starter of smoked salmon on sourdough, with cucumber, crème frâiche, dill and avocado. A whole roasted salmon with a kale and squash salad followed. Better yet, we were about to learn how to cook it the authentic Scandinavian way.
Try the recipes for yourself and let us know if you’ll be cheering skål this Christmas.

Smoked salmon on sourdough with crème frâiche, dill and avocado


This a classic Norwegian smørbrød, meaning ‘buttered bread’ or open sandwich. We used Norwegian smoked salmon, which is very lightly smoked, and not as salty as other smoked salmon I’ve tasted. My sandwich (traditionally eaten with a knife and fork) was ready in just a few minutes, and devoured in even less than that.
Serves 4
4 slices of toasted sourdough or rye bread
2 avocados, peeled, stone removed and sliced
8 slices (around 240g) Norwegian smoked salmon
Juice and zest 1 unwaxed lemon
4tbsp reduced-fat crème frâiche
1 small bunch dill, finely chopped
¼ cucumber, thinly sliced with a vegetable peeler

1. Top each slice of bread with avocado slices. Fold 2 slices of smoked salmon on top of each, then squeeze over some lemon juice.

2. Add a dollop of crème fraîche to each, then sprinkle over the dill and lemon zest. Season with freshly ground black pepper and serve immediately with the cucumber slices.

Whole roasted salmon with kale, butternut squash and pomegranate salad



Signe said roasted salmon is ‘the home cook’s best friend’ – definitely one if you’re looking for stress-free Christmas prep. Yet the whole roasted fish, stuffed with fresh vegetables and herbs, looks magnificent on the festive table. And then there’s the beautiful raw kale salad with roasted carrots and butternut squash. It’s light and wintry, comforting and clean, and can be made a few hours in advance. For a twist, Signe suggested adding teriyaki for an Asian flavour, or to bulk up the salad even more, try adding walnuts or other seasonal vegetables and nuts.

Serves 8-10
For the salmon
Oil, for greasing
1 whole Norwegian salmon (about 2 kg), descaled, gutted and cleaned
2 small red onions, thinly sliced
2 unwaxed lemons, thinly sliced, plus juice of ½ lemon
1 large carrot, thinly sliced
Bunch fresh parsley

For the salad
2 butternut squash, peeled, seeds removed and cut into bite-size pieces
2tbsp olive oil
2 bunches kale, finely chopped
2 pomegranates, shucked open and deseeded (seeds placed in a bowl)

1. Heat the oven to 150oC/fan 130o C/gas 2. Lightly oil 2 long sheets of extra-strong aluminium foil. Put one sheet on top of a large roasting tray, oil-side facing up, and season with black pepper.

2. Wipe the salmon dry and make three incisions into each side. If the fish is too big to fit in your oven, slice off the tail and put it beside the fish. Stuff all six incisions with the red onion, lemon, carrot and parsley, reserving some lemon slices and parsley to garnish. Close the salmon and sprinkle with a little lemon juice to taste. Put the second sheet of foil on top of the salmon, oil-side down, and crimp the edges inwards to create a sealed parcel. Put the salmon in the oven and roast for 1½ to 2 hours. Keep checking the fish to avoid overcooking it – the flesh should be just opaque and easily flake when cooked.

3. Meanwhile, to make the salad, put the butternut squash on an uncovered tray, drizzle with the oil and cook in the oven for around 30 min. (See cook’s tips, below.)

4. Put the kale and pomegranate seeds in a large bowl. Toss together, then cover and set aside until ready to serve.

5. Once the salmon is cooked, remove the top foil from the roasting tray and simply move the whole fish on to a serving plate or board to place at the centre of the table (repositioning the tail if separated to cook). To portion up the fish, scrape off the skin (and assorted cooked vegetables from the incisions). Top the kale and pomegranate seeds with the roasted butternut squash and serve with the salmon.

Cook’s tips:

-Norwegian salmon is available in Tesco between November and January – just look for the Norge logo on packs of boneless Norwegian salmon side (1kg, RRP £24) and on boneless Norwegian half salmon side (500g, RRP £12)
-If your oven isn’t big enough to fit the butternut squash on one level and the salmon on another, cook the butternut squash first, followed by the salmon.
