Texture tip

Cut ALL pieces the same size for even cooking
For 12-18 months: thinner pieces (1 cm)
Test cooking with a fork: should be melting-tender
KEEP PACKAGING of sensitive products to prove puree-free
Check LABELS even for 'obvious' products

Texture tip

If the dough is too sticky: add 1 tsp rice flour
