The kit comes in two parts:

Recipes booklet

This booklet has simple visual guides to kitchen utensils, recipe measurements and food preparation actions. It also contains 10 vegetable recipe cards. Each card features a different vegetable with three recipes: a dip, a soup and a side-dish. The recipes use fresh, frozen and tinned produce to show that vegetables can be delicious prepared in all sorts of ways.

They are ideal for starting solids through to lunchboxes and family meals. Almost all of the recipes can be frozen. They are also very flexible, so you can try other vegetables for flavour, colour and texture too.
