Bubble 'N Squeak Patties...Makes 6 patties
1/2 cup Savoy cabbage, very finely shredded
1 heaping cup cold mashed potatoes
1/2 cup sharp Cheddar cheese, grated
1 tsp. Dijon mustard
salt and pepper to taste
1 small egg, beaten
flour, for coating
sunflower oil, for frying
Steam the cabbage for 3 minutes until just tender. Leave to cool and squeeze with your hands to remove as much water as possible. Mix the cabbage with the mashed potatoes, cheese and mustard - Then season to taste. Stir in egg and mix until combined. Divide the mixture into sixths and form each portion into a flat patty using floured hands to form. Coat each patty in flour and shake to remove any excess. Lightly coat the bottom of heavy-based frying pan with oil. Cook three patties at a time for 3-4 minutes each side until golden. Drain on paper towels until serving.
Cabbage is a valuable source of antioxidant vitamins C, E and beta-carotene which have a protective effect on the brain. The cheese and egg both provide valuable brain-boosting protein. Add even more nutritional value by using whole-wheat flour.
After writing several award-winning health and nutrition titles that have had great success in the UK, Nicola Graimes makes her debut in the US market with the first book to focus on children and brain power and the foods that truly can improve intelligence and those that can hinder it. With her exciting positive twist on the link between the food that children eat and their mental development, Graimes offers parents new ways and reasons to give their children (from pregnancy through primary school) and the essential foods and nutrients they require.
BRAIN FOODS FOR KIDS includes:
A clear and easy-to-follow introduction to the principles of good childhood nutrition and information on all the latest science on brain-boosting foods
Practical, kid-tested advice on incorporating the essential foods into a child-friendly diet
Special "brain-box" features to explain the health-giving, mind-boosting properties of each of the featured dishes
Teaches how to recognize foods containing additives and pesticides, and how to choose healthy, nutritious ingredients
Advice on using diet to control and avoid behavioral problems such as ADHD.
Graimes divides the book into two sections. The first is full of advice, bursting with color photographs and helpful scientific facts as palatable for adult readers as the recipes are for their children. The second part covers more than 100 recipes for every meal of the day, parties, picnics, and plenty of delicious snacks. And the perforated at-a-glance weekly menu planner can be torn out for posting on the fridge.
