Recipes for Pregnancy

babyworld is an excellent baby resource based in the UK.  I tried out several of the pregnancy recipes on the site and they are great even if you’re not cooking for a pregnant wife!  Here are some dishes that made it to the dinner table this week:

Cherry Tomato-Topped Chicken

Cherry tomato-topped chicken

I couldn’t believe how beautifully this dish came out.  It’s very easy to make and looks nice when you plate it.  I rate this recipe 9/10.

Fennel and Almond Soup

Not much color, but tastes good!  I’ll rate it 8/10.

Fish Brochette with Coconut Dressing and Apricot and Ginger Risotto

Fish brochette with coconut dressing and Apricot and ginger risotto

I didn’t care for either recipe here.  The fish brochette has nice flavor, but it seemed like too much trouble skewering everything and grilling it when a quick stir-fry with the marinade would have been sufficient.  3/10 for the fish brochette.

The risotto tasted okay, but it’s a stretch to call it risotto.  Risotto is supposed to have a starchy rice and parmesan cheese.  This recipe calls for neither.  5/10, and don’t call it risotto.

Oozing Chocolate Lava Cake

Okay, this one is not from babyworld, but pregnant women get strange cravings sometimes…

We didn’t have any ramekins, so it doesn’t look pretty.  It did however taste like chocolatey heaven.  8/10
