Christmas This is probably the most celebrated time in the nursery and there are literally hundreds of food ideas. The children could make mincemeat pies using readymade pastry. They could also make biscuits in Christmas shapes. A very simple recipe for oatmeal biscuits is: Ingredients for oatmeal biscuits: 4 oz (100 g) sunflower margarine 2 oz (50 g) caster sugar 4 oz (100 g) porridge oats 4 oz (100 g) plain wheat flour Method: • Cream the margarine and sugar. Add the porridge oats and flour. • Roll the mixture into small balls and flatten slightly. • Put in oven at 180°C/350°F/gas mark 5 for 15 minutes. These biscuits could be eaten after a meal or sent home with the children. Fruit Salad A winter fruit salad is a delicious quick and easy snack for the children to make: Ingredients for Fruit Salad: 4 ripe pears 3 bananas 6 tangerines 4 apples Method: Squeeze the juice and flesh from the tangerines. Chop the fruit into the juice and mix together. 38 Food for Religious and Cultural Celebrations Nutrition & Oral Health
14: FOOD FOR PARTIES A party is a time of great excitement and is the celebration of a happy occasion. The quality of food at a nursery or childminders’ party should be as high as it would normally be at any time. Staff should use this opportunity to encourage children to continue to follow the healthy eating patterns already in place. It is important to explain to parents that the nursery has adopted a healthy eating policy. Instead of sweets, encourage parents to provide fruit treats for the children. Remember that it is important that the special occasion should look special. Use visual tricks and keep to the healthy ingredients! Use strips of coloured crepe paper, streamers and fancy drinking straws. The children could design their own placemats in advance. Food can be attractively presented with colours matching paper plates. There are many healthy foods that are ideal for party times. Birthdays are often celebrated in nursery or childcare. In a large nursery, there could be several birthdays in one week and traditionally parents may provide a birthday cake for their child to share. Many cakes are high in sugar and fat, so as a healthier alternative, staff could arrange for the child celebrating a birthday to take a small cake home instead. Birthdays can be celebrated in other ways, for example, receiving a card, blowing out candles on a pretend cake or wearing a birthday crown. Breads • Wholemeal, granary or multigrain bread. • Malted, brown or white bread. • Bagels, muffins or croissants. • Tortilla wraps or pitta pockets. • Crusty bread with sesame or poppy seeds. • Finger rolls or baps. Sandwich Fillings Make interesting sandwiches using bread cut into various shapes. Try different fillings. Here are a few suggestions: • Tinned fish such as tuna, mackerel, pilchards and sardines. • Grated cheese with cucumber or pickle. • Roast beef and tomato slices. • Cottage or cream cheese with pineapple. • Thinly sliced ham and mustard. • Hummus with grated carrot. • Wafer thin turkey and coleslaw. • Mashed banana. • Chopped chicken in mayonnaise with mango or celery.
