ELLA’S KITCHEN

In 2006, Ella’s dad (Yes, there is actually an Ella!) Paul Lindley realised that most baby food in the market was bland and uninspiring. So, he made a promise to Ella and her brother that he would only prepare food that tasted, looked and smelt great. He founded Ella’s Kitchen, a brand that encourages little ones to develop a healthy relationship with food not only through taste, but also play. Today, Ella’s Kitchen has a range of food for children of different age groups, kid-friendly cookbooks, foodie games and more. Here’s a simple recipe from Ella’s Kitchen The Cook Book for you to try with your kids

SLURRP FARM

Founded by mums Shauravi Malik and Meghana Narayan in 2016, Slurrp Farms is a children’s food brand that is 100% wheat-free. Shauravi and Meghana decided to create the brand when they couldn’t find tasty and nutritious food in the market for their own kids. They also realised that it was a common problem faced by parents everywhere.

They went back to their families’ recipes, especially those from their grandmothers’ kitchens and developed them to suit modern tastes while still retaining the goodness of traditional superfoods, such as millets, oats and amaranth, which they’d eaten as children. Slurrp Farm’s range is free from preservatives, artificial flavours and trans fats. It also includes options that are suitable for kids with lactose intolerance. Look out for the brand’s convenient and easy-to-prep millet pancake mix, millet dosa mix and more in stores soon.
