Cooking at Home
From first tastes to family meals
As your baby's tastes develop, they should be able to eat the same meals as the rest of the family.
This is good for you as you can simply cook the family meal (avoiding salt, sugar etc) set aside your baby's portion, then add the desired flavourings for the rest of the family to enjoy.
It's also good for your baby as it widens their palette, encourages them to adapt to your pattern of eating and enables them to share in family mealtimes.
If time allows, encourage your baby to get involved in the preparation or cooking of the meal to help them develop a real love of food.
Try some of our recipes - they are all easy to shop for and simple to prepare, making it easy for you to cook at home, when you have the time. And if you don't, you know where to find us!
Who's talking about Plum...

“Just been having a peek at 'plum vision' and I am absolutely wowed by you!! Jack has already tried your spinach parsnip and basil and loves it - so do we as a matter of fact! We'll most certainly be trying out more of your products. Simply inspirational! Thank you.” Jenny, Rob and baby Jack
“My little girl is quite a fussy eater, at one point you could not even get the spoon into her mouth - that was until she tried Plum - and we've not looked back since. I must admit Mummy had to have a little try and wow, so scrumptious!” Tracey
“I tried our eldest first on jars as I hadn't heard about Plum and he absolutely and completely refused them. When I smelt and tasted them I could completely understand where he was coming from! Thank you so much for providing a fantastic yummy and healthy alternative to the jars. We love Plum!!” Susie Alderson

“Thank you for the wonderful products of Plum, my little girl is a huge fan. Faye is currently enjoying your spelt biscuits. I enjoy giving such tasty healthy food like Plum. She has benefited from your range of goodness.” Deborah
“Just to let you know that my 9month old who now refuses weetabix and will only eat your plum apple and prune cereal for breakfast - please make more breakfasts these are great!” Ros
“I just wanted to thank you for the amazing (and very healthy) idea to include quinoa in all your recipes and for the ultimate four grains porridge that it have amaranth. I am from Peru, so I know that those two, quinoa and amaranth, are very nutritious. I am very happy to give to my daugther, who is 6 months old, food from my country of origin.” Aracelly

“Just wanted to say how delighted i am with your range of baby food. My 7 month old daughter will keep opening and closing til the whole pot is gone and she especially loves the blueberry, banana and vanilla flavour she say's 'mmm' after every mouthful! Also the pots are so convenient and as a mum of 3 i often have to grab a pot and run! Using Plum baby food takes the guilt away from not having time to make my own. Knowing I’m buying the best helps Thank you very much and keep up the good work!” Nikki and baby Anabelle
“I just wanted to write to thank you. Before my daughter was weaning, i was adamant that all her food would be home cooked, but after looking at your products (and her trying them!) we are firmly a Plum baby family. Many Thanks again for making life a bit easier!” Stacey & baby Poppy
