| 'Alfi Beasti’ was the result of my own extreme frustration over our son Ezra and his aversion to any food which wasn’t white or jam covered. One of the main problems we had with Ezra was that to him food would just ‘appear’ on the table, seemingly from nowhere. Once he was involved in the process of making a meal or a cake it all became a lot more interesting to him.
I can’t say with any truth that we follow Grandma Beasti’s ideals every day, but starting to cook with him did change his attitude to food very swiftly. |
