If you cook you can create your own recipes...Just because an ingredient is included in the recipe you must use it..You can omit an ingredient all together or easily find a substitute or add other ingredients to make whatever you cook more healthy and appropriate for your daughter.

My book KIDS IN THE SWAHILI MOM KITCHEN inspired by my daughter is soon coming out..This will help you so much to see how I have changed so many recipes and made it funny for my daughter who is a very picky eater to enjoy many foods...
