There are some awesome websites out there:
Forbaby.co.nz
Recipes.co.nz
I would also say it is time to scour through your bounty pack for the couple of cook books that they slot in there as well.
Plunket has a wonderful Iron resource cook book, just give them a call. It is one of their group hand outs.
Personally I just stuck to age appropriate foods and mixed them in to "concoctions".
Meat, fry it, boil it, then whizz it up and make into ice cubes.
You can do the same with steak, chicken and pretty much any other meat. Unfortunately some can come out dry, mince is a pretty nasty consistancy and most kids hate the stuff.
Any water you get off from boiling, add gluten free cornflour mixed in water to make thick.
Then it is your veges and fruit. Whizz them up - separately and ice cube them as well.
When it comes to meals I liked to throw in combinations that *I* think would be nice. So chicken and apricot with broccoli? Courgette and Carrot with Steak and Spud.
You can add little seasonings like pineapple to make things like chicken and pumpkin a bit more interesting. I think Pork, apple and courgette was a good one.
Try sticking to having them separate at the beginning, then as tastes evolve mix in mix in the good stuff with the screwed up face stuff.
If you want to find a good pull out on basic fruits/vege and meat there is a pull out in your "Thriving Under Five" booklet. I have mine taped to my fridge.
For those that didn't get one, have a look through the PDF online:
Thriving Under Five.PDF
Know of a GREAT baby food book?
