Awesome! Make sure you use unsweetened (and if possible unsalted) peanut butter. And adding tomato paste makes the soup more red and without parsley less green at the beginning ;-)

[@anonymousone9699]

Peanut sauce is also a Rwandan staple dish. The easiest way to achieve the authentic taste is to use peanut/groundnut flour instead of a paste. You can just have raw peanuts blend them in a spice blender or a regular one. You can also go all traditional and use the stone mortar and pestle and voila! Add nothing to the floor. before cooking the cause, toast the flour to get rid of the rawness. If you don’t, there is a strong after taste. Enjoy!

[@ashleymills4233]

Can you do an episode that’s “foods our grandparents grew up eating”? It would be so interesting to see how our past generations ate using what they had and what was popular at the time, especially since many of our grandparents have experienced times of war and desperation.

[@rebeccscreasman3293]

My grandmother’s rule was that you tasted everything, even if you didn’t care for it. One taste of everything on the table. She went thru WW1, the Depression, and WW2. My belief is that she was trying to help us prepare for future shortages, when your food choices might be few, or non existent. At her side was my grandfather, saying, “Hunger is the best seasoning.”

[@BinkyDaKitty]

I would love this!!!

[@sarahwatts7152]

Oooh I would love to hear their stories from when they were kids

[@a14a17k]

I cant express how important it is for kids to hear Casey say that its easy to try new things, and that you get to decide if you want more/ like it. I honestly think that answer needs to be clipped and saved on it's own. For some kids, trying new things really is scary, and hearing adults basically just tell you 'eat it because i say it's good' doesnt help the fear of not liking it and thinking youll be forced to eat it. Hearing comforting remarks from someone you see yourself in is an important and often missing part of those conversations with our kids.

[@lynnboartsdye1943]

Completely agree! Imagine telling an adult that when they express they don’t like a certain food, I’ve found the more you respect someone’s boundaries the more likely they’ll open up to trying something new on their own.

[@GenXBecks]

My kid is 7, and enjoys exploring new foods. I think it's because from the time she could talk, she understood our family motto is "You like what you like". She'll even correct me if I accidentally yuck someone's yum, and quote our motto back at me.

[@supriyamanoj1985]

Can I like this comment twice? This is what I tell my daughter every time. You are free to decide what you like and what you don't but unless you try you will never get to know that.

[@LeeAllanSpades]

My brother was a REALLY picky eater, and over the last five years he has developed a new philosophy regarding foods. "I try everything now. Who knows? That thing that looks weird might be my new favorite food and I will have no idea if I don't try it."

[@queenofdramatech]

I second this! When I was a child my mother always gave me a taste of a new food. It was enough for one fork full and that was all I had to eat, I did not have to have anymore if I didn't want anymore but it would come back another day as one more fork full to try. There were always other things on the table that I like to eat so I never starved. That is how I learned to love foods that most people don't like at all when their children like broccoli and spinach!

For Pav Bhaji, if you are vegan, you can replace the ghee with regular vegetable oil and toast the buns like how Beryl did. If you aren't vegan, then I would highly recommend you to put some butter on the pan and lightly toast the buns in the melted butter. Buttered buns taste divine with Pav Bhaji and its how normally served in India. I really love Pav Bhaji, its a great versatile dish which can be good as teatime snack, breakfast or a quick lunch time meal. This was such a cute video.

[@DiMacky24]

Olive oil and a little bit of extra salt help replace the flavour undertones that butter normally imparts.

[@lilivonshtup3808]

Could vegan butter replace the ghee or would it burn when sautéing the vegetables?

[@DiMacky24]

@@lilivonshtup3808 Depends on what oil is used to make it. But also, this isn't made at high heat like a stirfry, but rather medium high/medium like a sauce, so most any culinary oil should work. My favourite butter substitute is coconut oil personally.

[@21972012145525]

The butter buns slightly charred are the best part! You can stop yourself from eating more bhaji, but not the pau

[@mariachacon5420]

I make a weekend veggie soup almost almost every week of the bits and pieces of veggies I didn't use up (but need to) during the week. I almost always include potatoes. The Pav Bhaji would be a great way to change things up, but still use the veggies I have at home. I can't wait to try it!

I love how open minded these kids were when it came to trying everything! When I was a child, my favorite dish was potato croquette with curry and rice. I have fond memories of the dish because my late mother would make it for my sister and I especially on rainy days after we got home from school when we were soaked from running around in the rain! It was very warm and comforting especially after we changed out of our soaked clothing into pajamas. I still will make the dish on rainy days to remind me of those times in my youth and sometimes it feels a little bittersweet because my mother is no longer here but it still feels like a nice warm hug from her every time I have it!

[@victorialopez9717]

Little Reva was so cute and so real! It's so true we first eat with our eyes so if something doesn't look appealing or is unfamiliar, you can hesitate to eat it. That is SOOOOO true with little ones. But seeing a 4 year old take a bite and then want more is great.

This was THE BEST lol. As a kid, my mom only had one rule with new foods: You have to take one bite before you reject it. Then if you really don't like it, you don't have to eat it. It definitely gave me a positive relationship with trying new and different foods.

All these kids are so lovely 😂❤️ You had an amazing idea Beryl! And as an Italian I would also suggest trying the tomato version of Pastina. Just cook some tomato sauce with garlic or onion, a pinch of salt, basil and a drizzle of olive oil. Then add some water, let it boil and add pastina. Once ready, enjoy with an abundant sprinkle of Parmigiano Reggiano (and some pepper if you like it spicy!) This is a perfect comfort food for Winter, trust me! 😍 🇮🇹

@@AlissaSss23 It is, and it's also so easy to make! 😍 If you're going to try it, I recommend keeping it with a"soupy" consistency. some people like it very liquid, some people prefer it creamier. I suggest simmering until it's a little bit creamy... but don't let it dry. You'll love it!

[@sallycormier1383]

The kids were adorable and brave to try something new. I think it was a great idea to have them on for this episode because it was all about what kids like to eat! We always had a one bite rule with our boys when they were little…take a taste and if you don’t like it you don’t have to eat it. When they were older(upper elementary grades) we did fool them once to get them to try calamari by saying it was onion rings. They tore into them and continued to do so after we revealed it was squid. Shortly afterward we moved to Spain and they continued to eat squid and cuttlefish. We started them young trying foods from other cultures. My older son has lived in Costa Rica for 14 years(married a Tica) and loves sharing their cuisine when we visit. He tells me though that even with his wife supervising as he prepares the CR version of arroz con pollo(eaten by scooping up on potato chips!) it never tastes as good as hers! 😊❤️

[@EmilyDeNoble]

Totally making that peanut soup! I learned when plating noodles, that to make the “fancy” twist on the plate, don’t twist the noodles, turn the plate instead while lowering the noodles. Game changer!

[@monkeyhay]

I take the noodle with kitchen tongs and then holding them firmly, I do the twist in a big ladle. Then you simply slide the twisted noodles on a plate and it comes out really neat and tidy 👍

[@jessicak2361]

In Korea/Japan, they have these packets of mixed seaweed and other stuff (veg version, egg, shrimp depending on preference) that you are supposed to mix in with rice. There are special kid packets with less salt and sometimes fun shapes. My son loves plain sushi rice mixed with sesame oil and salt and then shaking this on top. Even though he's 9 now and has a more adventurous palette, this is a comfort food for him. The grown up version uses the packets but I also mix with nuts, pickles and sometimes a fried egg on top.

[@chibichecker]

I ate plain rice with a little soy sauce or seaweed topping so often as a kid, and now it’s definitely a comfort food for me, especially with a bit of fried spam or a fried egg

Granat soup - "ground nut" soup - I have been making this for decades! It is delicious, and every family has their own recipe. And it's so adjustable - toss in whatever vegetables you're trying to use up, and adjust the spice level to what you prefer. I serve it over rice and millet - a half plate of each (very flattened, though, so it isn't too much food) with the thick stew/soup over top and a sprinkling of very finely minced green onion or cilantro or parsley. It's very dramatic and gorgeous and everyone I've served it to loves it.

[@samanthab5006]

We don't have kids yet but I'm always surprised by what my nieces are willing to try and what they like. My husband and I are vegan and a few years ago at Christmas we brought a homemade lentil loaf for us to have instead of ham. My nieces 8 and 4 at the time didn't know what it was and each took a slice put gravy on it and finished it and said they really liked it. They are more willing to try our food than their fathers are and yes are always honest about what they think haha

It is much more likely that stuffed potol came from Odisha than from the minuscule community of Armenians who kept to themselves. Tagore's business family who did business in the colonial era with various European communities picked up the dolma name and rebranded potoler pur as dolma. Naturally we'd make our potoler pur niramish.

you can look up keema recipes, its a similar dish using meat and you can tone down the spice and add the veggies in the pav bhaaji style

[@ts4686]

All the recommendations below are awesome. You can also blend already cooked meat if your baby/kid won't eat meat (it sort of thickens or makes a dish creamy), but of course there are great non meat alternatives too. But pretty much we fed our kids every fruit and vegetable to start of by blending them first, and keeping maybe the veggie they liked whole (like the potatoes), but the green pepper, tomatoes, carrots etc were all blended into the sauce. In this way they thought they were just eating potatoes with sauce 😁🤭 but they were getting all their veggies in 😜 Sneaky sneaky is okay when you're taking care of your child's best interests. Another way to get them to eat their food was to tell them that that particular food is their favourite character's favourite food 😆 That also got them to eat their food 🤭

These games had a huge variety of foods that seemed to be from different countries such as Asian countries and India and even France and Italy. As I played these games I became interested in the foods and that was when I started trying new foods for the first time. I was in my 30's at the time, lol.

Since my childhood I HATED spicy food (yes I am Indian and we exist) so my family stopped putting chillies in our food for a good solid decade and now that they can't tolerate heat cz they got used to mildly spicy food I AM ADDICTED TO CHILLIES 😂 I'm about to turn 18 and can eat raw chillies whereas my family members can only tolerate a bare minimum spicy achaar 😂

[@atomicwings1102]

Lol how did you get addicted to chillies. I am also a low spice tolerant Indian person and I have gotten only slightly better now that I am in my twenties. My family also puts less spice in so when I go out to eat or eat at someone else's place they are surprised to see me tearing up because of the spice

The stuffed grape leaves are so good. One year for my birthday we had a middle eastern theme and we made grape leaves and I loved it.

[@hectic-glow-clouds8723]

My dad made pasta with white wine and garlic all the time when I was a kid! He usually would start by frying garlic, then add leftover pasta with tomato sauce, then white wine. It’s a very nostalgic fast for me! It’s still how I like to eat my leftover pasta today :)

[@lenalyles2712]

Our youngest didn't like meat, but loved any seafood and cheeses. The school nutritionist had a fit over his lunch and I told her to talk to his doctor because he said it was better than what the school served. His favorite was egg, sardine, parmesan sandwich, applesauce, juice and carrot sticks. He couldn't drink milk so the juice or goats milk was in his lunch.

[@21972012145525]

??? Why would the school nutritionist have a fit? Didn’t know school nutritionists existed at individual schools and that they’re evaluating cold lunches 😬

[@freudvibes10]

Stuffed grape leaves, dolma, are the best. I personally use spring onions, spinach, wild cabbages(such as nettles, etc),fresh garlic, then the exact spices that you used but I add some parsley as well. I prefer dolma without meat. Just a lot of green leaves, spices, and rice for the stuffing.

[@dthurston6176]

If you want to do the "Fancy swirl" of pasta when plating, you need to use a large ladle that you swirl the pasta in with a large fork and then place the swirl down onto the plate. It gives both the swirl you wanted and extra height.👌

[@tamarf4596]

This is a great episode for me, as a parent of a very picky 6-year-old. I hope to make some of the dishes here and perhaps it can become a series, like your toast series, because I'm always looking for new dishes to help my daughter expand her pallet

[@sophiophile]

Are you (or your partner a picky eater)? Try not letting your kid see you saying things like "oh I don't eat that" or "I don't like that food". Show excitement about different foods as unconditionally as you can. It can help a lot n

[@janellemilazzolau1288]

@@sophiophile I think some kids are naturally picky no matter how diverse the parents like to eat

[@IQzminus2]

@@janellemilazzolau1288 Yea, it’s highly individual, and can be due to all sorts of things. Parents attitude can make a difference, but some kids are just going to be very picky eaters. I was an extremely adventurous eater even from 2 years old. Even though my parents weren’t. I was reaching and wanted what the adults were eating. I always wanted to order from the adults menu (and ordered the most unique thing on the menu). As a 4 year old the weirder and newer a food was to me, the more exiting. And I’m still this way. My younger siblings however have ADD and ADHD, and they both were extremely picky eaters as kids and teens. One even to adult age continues to only eat very few dishes/things. There are many different things that can affect how picky of a eater someone is. Especially any type of neurological thing that also might affect how easily you are overstimulated by senses. Textures, temperatures, a lot going on with the spices, having foods mixed with each other, lots of different things that can be a issue for a lot of people, for a lot of different reasons. A parents attitude can make a difference, but only so much. We all experience food very differently. And some are going to need more gentle flavours and species, and simpler and more approachable dishes.

I love love love!!!! the inclusion of the kiddos from all over the world. I love kids, and I love food and this is Great!

[@bexfisch80]

Such a sweet episode! I'm pregnant with my first little one and I love all of these recipes. It would be nice to share them with my future kiddo one day!

[@geezygee]

The "angel hair" pasta is technically what you would use for a "scampi" (usually shrimp), or "vongole" (clams) So if you're making the pasta for your pescatarian loving family, you can throw in your favorite shellfish too!

[@CampWildWoodz]

scampi means langoustine not shrimps

[@geezygee]

@@CampWildWoodz shrimp scampi is a thing tho, and prawn vs shrimp is interchangeable in many countries, due to a lack of other words to define it otherwise in the English/American English languages

Was I supposed to watch this without tearing up? Because the cuteness overload :')... I failed! This was lovely. Such brave children, well done! Another spectacular video, Beryl!

I think it’s important to mention that peanut soup is made with unsweetened peanut butter it’s a really wonderful dish! Love your channel! One day I saw you in Manhattan but I was in such a hurry and had my kiddo’s I couldn’t say hi 😔

As someone who did dolma for the first time you were great, almost everybody in Azerbaijan loves it. In Azerbaijan, we grind the meat with onions in a grinder at home, that makes the meat much tastier. By the way, just discovered your channel and loved your contents. Greetings from Azerbaijan ❤🇦🇿

I grew up in Italy and pastina is what little kids usually eat when "training" to eat solid foods. It is very yummy and comforting, in Italy we usually make Pastina in brodo (pastina in broth). You can also blend some vegetables with a potato and add it to pastina to hide vegetables to the kid

[@komal146]

Although i was obsessed with Maggi Noodles, I loved these gram flour steamed rolls called Khandvi. Quite labour intensive and bite sized like Dolma. Another thing was my dad's Upma that was somehow better than restaurants. That was mg favourite breakfast and thankfully it was unpopular enough to be never shared.

[@GamerChefGirlie]

This was amazingly heartwarming and it would be cool to do a follow up with more dishes typically eaten by kids around the world.

This was so stinking cute! Would definitely love to see another one of these. I’m so grateful my parents encouraged me to try new foods when I was little ❤️

You can also get dried Fenugreek leaves called kasuri meethi which is a great spice to finish dishes with. Fenugreek seeds are added to spice mixes to add a nutty flavour. They are also used to make dosa batter. Many people drink water soaked in Fenugreek seed overnight in the early mornings for health benefits.

awesome episode as always. All your little hosts did a great job. I love that the last child initially didn't want to try it when she saw it but then she tried in and you can see she was converted.

I'm gonna try that peanut soup. Looks easy to make

[@jacrae]

For the Pastina, my family would crack an egg in at the end of cooking and scramble it into the pasta. I also cook it with chicken or beef broth. My kids love pastina and my grandparents would make it for me when I was little. Great comfort food for adults, too! I'm going to try the peanut soup with my family next week. Thanks for the great video!

[@q0rpz368]

"don't knock it till you try it!" the rule of trying everything at least once was strictly enforced throughout my childhood! I've met sooo many people who weren't raised the same and its devastating how closed minded even adults can be! Casey showed such maturity with how she advertised her beliefs! I hope to see you add guests to the show again sometime!!

Peanut soup, I saw you put onions n tomatoes into the blender and then it turned green! Is this magic? Casey is a natural spokesperson. My goodness you found the best kids. And all the kids talking about their dishes have great talking skills

I don't have kids, but one of my favorite dishes my mother would make for me and that I still love is quiche. It looks intimidating but it's pretty easy to make (I always use a frozen deep-dish pie dough) and you can easily mix it up with what you put in it.

In Italy kids usually eat pastina as a soup with broth. My kids, when they were little, loved it with a ‘formaggino’ which is like a small cube of creamy cheese.

I grew up having dolmas, or rather “stuffed grape leaves.” Mom used a mix of lean ground beef and lamb. Packed tightly in a pot and weighed down with a plate. Served w/ strained yogurt and mixed with lemon. Then we had homemade hummus. This was in the 70s before hummus was even in stores. It was a traditional meal, borrowed from my cousin whose Dad emigrated from Lebanon.

[@kylee5560]

Love this! They're all so sweet! Some of my boys' (ages 15, 13, and 9) favorite dishes are: - Alfredo with broccoli - Tacos made with pinto beans and TVP - Greek salad with focaccia - Potato leek soup - Buffalo chick pea sandwiches (mash a few cans of boiled chickpeas with equal parts avocado, mayo, and buffalo sauce, add minced onion and celery) - Lasagna made with cottage cheese in place of ricotta. - Veggie stew over mashed potatoes They all eat meat but since I'm a vegetarian and do most of the cooking, we mostly always have a vegetarian dinner.

The peanut soup is similar to the chicken mole recipe my mom makes

[@LindaC616]

I was thinking the concept was similar to Perú's aguadita de polla, minus the peanuts. Just throw on lots of accoutrements

I actually made dolma with ground turkey for an Easter potluck a few years ago- my little cousins who were the most skeptical (they were 3 and 7 at the time and said it looked weird) ended up being the biggest fans and now request that I make it at every family reunion.

The groundnut soup looked so good. I can’t eat peanuts anymore but I know it tasted delicious.

[@rmetal1105]

I love the kids, especially Casey. She made trying new dishes sound so simple. But yes, she's right. Just taste it. If you like it, then continue eating. If you don't, find something else that you like. Many people, even adults, don't even want to give unfamiliar food a chance. I hope Casey's view on food will never change.
