The article features several renowned chefs sharing their approaches to feeding children, emphasizing the importance of not making sugar a treat and avoiding hidden vegetables. Marie Mitchell, author of the Caribbean cookbook 'Kin', describes how she serves dishes like paprika with sugar on pasta, prawns, tofu, and corn on the cob to her children, involving them in meal preparation. Ravneet Gill, a pastry chef, explains that she never separates meals for her son Donnie, serving him the same food as the family, including steak and chips, and avoids framing sugar as a treat. Jackson Boxer, chef-owner of multiple London restaurants, discusses the challenges of feeding four children with varying tastes, highlighting the importance of making food enjoyable and social. Rosie Birkett, a food writer, notes that pickiness is often a phase and focuses on slow-cooked meals that children enjoy. Margot Henderson, chef-patron of Rochelle Canteen, shares that her children grew up eating what the family ate, with a focus on vegetables and social dining experiences. The article concludes with a recipe for Margot Henderson's brown rice and pumpkin balls, a family favorite. The chefs collectively stress that children learn to love food through exposure, enjoyment, and family meals, rather than through restrictive or overly complicated approaches.
