Everyone at Fresh HQ either has children of their own

or a special niece and/or nephew in their lives. So when

we set upon the idea of having a whole issue dedicated

to food that kids would love to make or eat, it got the

whole office excited. We consulted every child we knew

about the food they find yummy, and the activities

around food that they have the most fun taking part in.

We’re proud to present the colourful food in this issue,

as voted the best by Aussie kids! We’re especially

pleased to bring you our bonus magazine of party cakes

and activities (flip Fresh over for the special bonus issue!)

Loaded down with fun ideas from the kids, we created

special photo shoots and brought back fond memories

from our own childhoods. We recalled our “trick or treat”

stories (see p26) and our top weeknight dinners (p16).

We hope your kids will also love this issue and that you

enjoy the trip down your own childhood memory lane.

The fresh team

Creating a kids issue brought back all the fondmemories of fun food from our childhoods!

Ashton, 4, and Madison,6, jumped at the chanceto help their mummy(Nicky) on our kids issue.

Isabella, 5, and Dominic, 7,had lots of fun at our partyphoto shoot. Well... maybea little too much fun!

When you get diagnosed

with cancer, all the thoughts

in your mind are rushed,

lessons you’re missing out

on, and - most of all – being

afraid to lose your life.”

A cancer diagnosis causes fear

– leaving them feeling vulnerable,

Mangoes are synonymous with

summer – why are they so special?

On a scorching summer’s day,

mangoes sell like hotcakes because

there’s no beating that tropical taste!

My three boys grew up eating buckets

of fresh mango – they would suck on

the seed until there’s nothing left! Kids

all over the country do the same, they

really get into it. Now my boys have

moved interstate and their own boys

– my grandkids – love mango so much

that my wife is flat out drying mango

cheeks and making mango chutney

and mango syrup to ship to them!

How quickly do mangoes get from

the farm to the supermarket?

In as little as four days. The key is to

pick them at exactly the right maturity

– pick them too early and they won’t be

sweet enough. A mango is ready when

it’s smiling at you – all you need to do

is look at the beak, the slightly pointy

end, which should have a small black

mark around 10mm that looks like a

curved smile! If it’s smiling, it’s ready.

Packing more than 12,000 trays of

mangoes daily in spring and summer

– how do you maintain quality control?

It’s a long process that starts with

monitoring in the field, and then

gathers pace in the packing shed.

We slice up five mangoes in every

bin to check for colour and texture.

The mangoes are then professionally

graded and re-graded by the packers.

We also have a quality assurance staff

member who checks the final boxes

every 30 minutes to ensure perfection.

How should you store mangoes?

Never, ever put one in the fridge – keep

them in the fruit bowl out of the sun. If

it’s a Kensington Pride, you’ll smell it

when it’s ripe – it’s a beautiful fragrance.

Don’t squeeze them, if it gives slightly

with a light touch, it’s ready to eat.

You’ll smell it when

it’s ripe – it has such a

beautiful fragrance.

Don’t squeeze them,

just give them a light touch

and, if it gives slightly,

it’s ready to eat.

fun factsMangoes are not just delicious

eaten fresh, blitzed in smoothies

or made into ice-cream, they’re also

a great way to tempt the kids to try

spicy Mexican or Thai-style dishes

– as sweet mangoes marry well with

hot, sour and salty flavours.

Nutrient-rich mango is a brilliant

first food for baby-led weaning

at around six months of age – holding

slices of mango can help babies learn

about the connection between

the taste, texture and appearance

of new foods.

kids healthDepending on their maturity,

mangoes can contain as much

vitamin C as an orange.

Mangoes are also rich in

vitamin A, an essential nutrient

for children’s immune systems.

You can easily turn your mango intoa fun animal with a little imagination!

echidnaPrep 5 mins | Serves 2

Remove mango cheeks,

cutting as close to the stone

as possible. Using the tip of

a knife, score lines vertically

down each cheek and then

horizontally to form a

hatched pattern (be careful

not to cut through the skin).

Hold mango edges and turn

inside out. Place mango

halves onto a plate and

add sultanas for eyes and

strawberry halves for noses.

Motta Produce is a family business,

which started growing asparagus,

as well as many other vegetables,

in the early ’70s. By the mid ’80s

Motta farms were dedicated solely

to producing asparagus. Motta

Produce now supplies asparagus

throughout Australia, and have

been a partner of Woolworths

for more than 20 years. Motta

is located in Koo Wee Rup in Victoria,

which is about an hour’s drive

south-east of Melbourne.

Mario and Gina Vizzarri were dairy

farmers in South Gippsland and

moved to the Koo Wee Rup area

in 1971. In the late ‘80s, they

started growing asparagus. Today

Vizzarri Farms oversee a total

of 26 properties with more than

2000 asparagus-producing acres.

Vizzarri Farms supply asparagus

throughout Australia, and have been

a proud partner of Woolworths

supermarkets since 1997.

healthy snacksyour little ones will love!4 Ingredientsauthor, Kim McCosker

is mum to three

beautiful boys and

knows the importance

of healthy snacks.

Here’s her advice:

Depending on their weight and

sex, toddlers need roughly about

4000-5000 kilojoules a day, but

you may find your little one won’t eat

a lot in one sitting. That’s where healthy

and nutritious snacks will come in handy.

Snacks are a part of my boys’ daily

routine because they rarely sit down.

Hunting for T-Rex or catching a shark

can often outweigh sitting still to eat.

Along with three good meals a day,

you will probably want to incorporate

a couple of nutritious snacks into your

toddler’s daily routine, at regular times.

This can continue throughout childhood

with morning and afternoon teas at day

care and, later, at school. The best trick

is to mentally tick off the foods they eat

from each of the four main food groups:

• Carbohydrates: bread, cereal, rice

• Protein-rich food: meat, fish

• Fruit and vegetables

• Dairy

TRY THESE TASTY SNACKS

1Banana and raspberry shake

Smoothies are a quick and easy

way to add a variety of fruit to your

toddler’s diet. I use a mix of frozen

berries and fresh fruits.

FRESH TIP If you think the smoothie

is too thick or sweet, dilute with

a little water before serving.

2Homemade mini-muffins

You will be surprised how

quick and easy these are.

FRESH TIP Make a double batch

and freeze. Stored correctly, muffins

will freeze for up to 12 months.

3Yoghurt with stewed fruits

Delicious and super healthy.

Make an extra batch to freeze.

4Dates and dried fruit

Dried fruit is great served with

slices of apple, mandarin or pear.

Snacking is a convenient way for busy toddlers

to get the right amount of nutrition they need.

watermelons are Australian grown?

They are a round in shape with

smooth, hard green skin and red

flesh. Watermelons grow all over

Australia, but especially in hot

places like the Northern Territory,

Western Australia and Queensland.

They’re a good source of vitamin C

and their natural sugar content

makes them taste deliciously sweet.

Our fishmongers are experts in everything about seafood – if in

doubt, ask their advice on selecting the best catch for your meals.

meetour fishmonger

Q&Awith our

fishmongerANNETTE LUE

Kellyville store

What is a simple, tasty way

to cook seafood? Because fish

can easily overcook, it helps if you

cook it in foil or a bag to keep the

steam in. Try our “Fish Bag ‘n’ Bake”

– pop your fish in a bag and add your

favourite sauce. Then take it home

and simply bake in the oven.

What seafood do you recommend

for kids? I usually recommend ling

to parents because it is a milder fish

– and is great for introducing fussy

eaters to fish (see ling on p32).

What’s the best seafood to

eat in summer? Australian Tiger

Prawns are always popular in

summer. They’re simple, versatile

and tasty. Simply peel cooked

prawns and dip into your favourite

sauce. Great for adding to salads,

or they’re the ideal finger food.

2 Place flour and breadcrumbs onto

separate plates. Place egg into a shallow

bowl. Dip each fish finger into flour, egg,

then breadcrumbs, pressing on firmly.

Arrange in a single layer on baking trays.

3 Spray fish well with oil spray. Cook

for 15–20 minutes or until golden and

cooked through. Serve with chips,

lettuce and lemon wedges.

our handy “Fish Bag ‘n’ Bake” idea.

Ask our fishmonger for assistance.

Pick your fish Choose a fish you’d

like to eat from the seafood counter

and our fishmonger will pop it in a bag.

Add marinade Choose your choice

of marinade you would like added.

Cook When you get home, simply

place the bag in the oven and cook

We recommendGetting kids to eat fish can

be difficult. The trick is to

introduce them to it slowly with a

mild-flavoured fish that isn’t so

‘fishy’, such as ling – which has a mild,

sweet flavour with few bones.

bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and

simmer for 10 minutes. Turn off heat and

leave covered for a further 10 minutes.

2 Combine vinegar and sugar in a cup.

Stir until sugar dissolves. Add to rice

and stir through. Spread rice out onto

a baking tray and leave to cool.

3 Place 1 nori sheet, shiny side down

onto a bamboo mat. Using damp hands

(the moisture will stop the rice sticking

to your hands), place some of the

rice on the sheet and spread out,

leaving the top edge clear by 1cm.

Lay smoked salmon slices over rice

and add avocado and cucumber

along the side closest to you.

4 Roll up using the bamboo mat, starting

from the end with the fillings. Wet the

purchased by the slice,

at your local Woolworths. Because

it’s already cooked, you can eat the

salmon straight from the packet.

Woolworths is joining with Cancer

Council, donating $2 from each

Pink Ribbon bouquet sold in store

to Cancer Council’s breast cancer

research, prevention and patient-

support programs.

One in eight Australian women will be

diagnosed with breast cancer by the

age of 85. Each year, more than 13,500

women are diagnosed with breast cancer.

Together, we’re making progress in

cancer detection and treatment with

survival rates increasing. The five-year

survival rate for women diagnosed

with breast cancer is now more than

98 per cent – if the cancer is detected

early and is limited to the breast.

There are around 125,000 mums,

sisters and daughters who have been

diagnosed with breast cancer in the

past 20 years who are still alive today,

thanks to early detection.

This October, go pink! Be breast

aware, lead a cancer-smart lifestyle,

and buy a Pink Ribbon bouquet for

that someone special in your life.

chicken meat (with roast chicken from the deli department) mixed with

mayonnaise and grated cucumber (squeeze out moisture first). Cut them

into triangles or fun shapes like stars, hearts or rounds. Other fillings: mix

mashed boiled egg with mayonnaise and tinned tuna or salmon.
