We cook at home 5-6 nights a week, but one of those other nights we love taking the kids out to eat. Not for the obvious reasons: no dirty dishes, food all over Gemma’s highchair or the clean up (which are all totally valid reasons), but because we love turning the kids on to new cuisine. Living in Los Angeles we live in a melting pot of international cuisines.
PinYou would think that it would be an odd choice to take a baby out for Thai food, but just this weekend we ordered a medium spice shrimp and green papaya salad that Gemma was slurping the juice off of. By exposing the kids to different foods, spices and textures it has opened them up to trying foods we never thought possible.

Another one of our favorite cuisines to try is Indian. The first time we took Kenya and Chloe to try it we were in the Turks and Caicos on vacation. It might seem like an odd choice on an island, but we heard it was a local favorite, so we gave it a whirl. We were shocked as the kids devoured dish after dish, a variety of sauces and Chloe has asked for Chicken Curry several times since then.

The best part of this Chicken Curry dish is you can keep it totally mild and let the bright flavors speak for themselves or you can boost the heat for adults and kids with stronger palates. Whether you go out, carry in or make it yourself opening kids experiences to dishes from around the world will be another step to broadening the array of foods they will get excited about trying!
