Food ideas and recipes
The following resources have been developed as part of the National Allergy Council's Nip allergies in the Bub Food Allergy Prevention Project. These evidence-based best practice resources provide ideas on how to introduce the common allergy causing foods to help prevent food allergy. These resources have been developed with funding from the Australian Government Department of Health, Disability and Ageing.
Food ideas are available for babies of different ages and stages of eating development. They explain how to incorporate the common food allergens into first foods through to toddler and family meals.
Recipe booklets are also available. There are two booklets, one booklet contains recipe ideas including all of the common food allergens and are grouped together by stages of development (e.g. first foods, mash foods). The second booklet has a focus on introducing tree nuts and includes recipes with a variety of textures.
