Erwan Heussaff shared the baby food recipes that he prepared for his daughter Dahlia and why it's also a good and healthy meal plan for adults.

In his Instagram post, he explained that this was the last video he shot when they stayed in Australia. He also said that he will share what he learned in preparing healthy meals for his daughter.

“The last video I shot in Australia, in the kitchen where I cooked 3 meals a day (more or less 350 meals ++ ) for Dahlia, once she turned 6 months old. Posted a video about what I've learned about Baby Food and that maybe we've been looking at it all wrong this whole time.

In his latest vlog on YouTube, Erwan clarified that he is not a baby food expert. But as a new dad, he learned a few things and decided to share them to his followers. Erwan also revealed that these meals are also a good option for people who want to have a simple but healthy meal.

“I am in no way a baby food expert. In my very limited parenting experience I've learned a couple of things I think are worth sharing.

"This information is actually really interesting for people who have kids but also for people who don't have kids and are always constantly looking for ways to be healthier."

Erwan admitted that he was initially uncertain on the baby food found in supermarkets. That made him decide to work on Dahlia's baby food that he can also enjoy.

“At first baby food seemed alien to me. You see those packaging in the supermarket like chicken mashed with like mango and weird fruit combinations. You're thinking 'I'm never gonna eat that.'

“As you start discovering different ingredients and trying different ingredients, I actually realized you could make baby food that both you and I could eat."

According to Erwan, baby food requires healthy ingredients to support their needs.

“Most of the time it is made with the healthiest ingredients, in the healthiest proportions and that's the way we should be eating as well on a day to day basis."

He explained how baby food works and how the little ones should begin eating in his video.

Erwan said, “Baby food is really simple and that's what I love about it, you start off by giving them singular ingredients on a day to day basis either through mashes or what they call baby-led weaning which is cooked pieces or even uncooked pieces of food; chunks of food. “

He added, “You have them try single ingredients on a day to day basis from usually six months onwards and you just watch to see if they would have any adverse reactions or allergies with that ingredient."

After learning which ingredients work and what doesn't work for the babies, then you can create a fun meal. According to the food enthusiast, that is where the fun starts for him as he can now cook a nice meal for Dahlia.

“Once you have enough ingredients and you kind of know what you're allowed to play with, then you can start putting together combinations, then that's when it starts getting really fun because then it becomes cooking.”

In his video he explained that baby food should not only focus on what is good for your baby, it should also be appetizing for the adults.

“It's not about what your baby can eat, but about what kind of baby food you can eat."

He added, “Baby food for adults. Probably the healthiest meal plan ever.”
