I simply do not understand people who don’t eat breakfast. How do they function? Survive? Feel normal? For the most part, I eat the same thing every morning: granola with berries and almond milk, or oatmeal with berries and almond milk. Then I go around the corner for a cappuccino. And ahhh, the day can begin. It sounds completely boring, doesn’t it? Maybe it is, or maybe it’s this one thing I can count on to be the same.

Sometimes you like a food so much that you want to cook it for your kids. But then they don’t like it, because it’s too salty or too bitter or “weird-looking” or whatever. Janine, a food scientist (yes, this amazing job title actually exists) and classroom science presenter, wants to show you how to experiment with recipes to make them kid-friendly and simultaneously delicious.
Janine doesn’t believe in cooking separate meals for grownups and kids. So she developed a recipe for non-spicy butter paneer masala with peas for her 2-and-a-half-year-old son Charlie. Check out their video and you’ll see it’s so good he comes back for seconds. And adults won’t be stuck eating some bland creation: Janine shows you how to kick up the heat factor a notch for those who are into that kind of thing. Read on for the recipe.
