 |  | | | Healthy Eating for Children | 16 June 2006 | | |
The importance of good nutrition for children has been high on parents’ agendas since Jamie Oliver’s school dinners campaign. And the Children’s Food Bill, promoting healthy eating in schools, is currently being debated in Parliament.
Nutritionist Jane Clarke, who advised on Jamie Oliver’s campaign, has written a nutrition bible for parents. Jane debunks the myths around children’s food, and offers tips on healthy eating – from how to deal with fussy eaters to preventing mood swings and whether organic foods are really best.

| Fruit Fondue | | |
For the fondue
200ml natural yoghurt or soya youghurt
50g dark chocolate, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons cocoa
3 tablespoons maple syrup
1 teaspoons vanilla essence
For dipping
Banana slices
Raspberries
Peach slices
Mango slices
Papaya slices
Pineapple chunks
Very slowly and gently warm the yoghurt in a small pan, taking care not to heat too quickly as this can cause the yoghurt to separate. Add the chocolate and stir until it has melted and blended in, then add the cocoa, maple syrup and vanilla essence. Mix until silky smooth.
Serve with a fruit platter and cocktail sticks for dipping.
