The article describes a mother's experience with her son Remy's evolving relationship with food, emphasizing creativity in introducing vegetables. Initially an adventurous eater, Remy began rejecting visible vegetables by age one and a half. The parents adapt by mincing vegetables and incorporating them into meals, utilizing techniques like serving whole vegetables at the table for exploration. Recipes included traditional dishes like chicken pastina, highlighting their importance in family meals. This approach fosters a positive connection to food and encourages Remy to engage with different ingredients on his own terms.

With these variations the key is to leave a plate of whole vegetables on the table during mealtime, allowing Remy to explore and connect with his food.
