Cooking for a two year old is not difficult, even when there are food allergies. Everyday he could be fed mashed potatoes and grilled chicken with steamed broccoli and he'd be happy as a clam.
The issue is dining, sitting down with family and pulling food from a common serving tray; food being a luxury, a sensory experience, a time of bonding.
Are you really going to get that with a two year old at the table....maybe. Still it's worth the effort, and when the food is good, and our bellies full, we look across the table and love our families a little deeper.
So, the philosophy of this cooking is to prepare tasty meals that anyone would enjoy even if they don't have the food allergies of my nephew. That way his family enjoys their food together and the family can entertain with my nephew being an active part of the food going ons.
I'm going to emphasize flavor that adults will enjoy but a two year old will also eat. I am not going to emphasize healthy. If it tastes better using pork or duck fat I'm using it. The boy's a stick it'll be good to put some meat on him.
