Welcome to the World's First Great Big Vegetable Challenge! Six years ago we went on a vegetable journey of a lifetime. A 7 year year old boy named Freddie and his mother faced up to the challenge of turning him from a Vegetable-Phobic into a boy who will eat and even enjoy some of life's leafier pleasures. We ate through the alphabet of vegetables...and returned to tell the tale. Join our Great Big Veg Challenge!
Hi Charlotte, Freddie and Alexandra, I am really enjoying your blog! I have only recently started one myself and you are an inspiration. I am definitely going to try the Chard and Potato Gratin as I have often glanced curiously at the chard on the supermarket shelves, not sure about the chicory though, think I would prefer the crisps myself (what a philistine I am!). Look forward to the next post. Holler
I loved the article in the newspaper- thanks for sharing. Think about how many more people that article will inspire to eat vegetables! Way to go Freddie! (And Mum for being patient and doing the cooking.)
I have a great chicory dish on my blog http://lachattegitane.blogspot.com/2007/03/witloof-from-belgium.html Maybe you might want to try it our one day. Patricia
Hi Freddie & Mum, Just to let you know that your big vegetable adventure is ubspiring others! Last night I got a letter from a Dad asking for help with a recipe for his little daughter! And he got the idea from you!! Soon we shall call you Sir Freddie Vegetable! Congratulations on the newspaper story too, you're great!
Alanna, If Freddie gets any more confident about vegetables he will demanding a knighthood. Thank you for your kind comments and all your great ideas. And Patricia, That recipe looks great - thank you so much. Where you live looks beautiful as well... Charlotte
Hello Saw the article in the paper, and as a parent of a child who will only eat broccoli, I am going to try some of the recipes. My other child doesn't eat fruit. Is there a big fruit challenge?
Kim Hello - thanks for your message. We will move on to fruit after vegetables I think. From my point of view as a mother - Vegetables were the main issue for Freddie. Or rather a complete lack of vegetables. But he does eat four types of fruit which isn't amazing, but it wasn't such an issue! If you show your child ( depends how young they are) the site and get them to see what they like the look of - even if you offer some of the cake recipes it get's them interested...and helps to end a little of that suspicion. Let me know how you get on. Charlotte
