Do you often find yourself cooking different meals for every family member? If so, these recipes are for you. They are suitable for every age from weaning up, with helpful suggestions for adapting the dishes for younger palates.

Eating a variety of flavours and textures from a young age can make children less fussy and the bonus is, you’ll get a tasty dinner out of it too. 2 onions, finely sliced

1½ kg pork shoulder joint

2 oranges, zested and juiced

2 bay leaves

Small handful of thyme sprigs

1tbsp dried oregano

1tbsp sweet smoked paprika

2 garlic cloves, crushed Corn cobs, cooked rice and tortilla wraps (optional), to serve

FOR THE CHILLI SLAW

½ red cabbage, finely shredded 1 carrot, grated

3 spring onions or ½ small red onion, finely sliced

2tbsp red wine vinegar

1 red chilli, finely shredded 2tbsp olive oil

Handful of coriander, finely chopped

1 Put the onions in the base of a slow cooker, or in a deep roasting tray, then add the pork on top. Pour over the orange juice, then sprinkle in the zest, bay, thyme, oregano, paprika, and add the garlic. Pour in 200ml water, or enough to cover the base of the tray or slow cooker until about 2cm deep. Cook on low for 8-10 hrs, or in the oven at 160C/140C fan/gas 3, covered in a double layer of foil, for 4-6 hrs, topping up with water as needed. The meat should be fall-apart tender. Scoop out the thyme and bay leaves, and discard.

2 Remove the pork and shred the meat using two forks, discarding any skin and excess fat. Keep some of the pork in larger chunks for those who prefer it, or shred into smaller pieces for little ones. Add a few spoonfuls of the cooking liquid over the meat.

3 Toss all the slaw ingredients together in a bowl and add some seasoning. You can serve the slaw on the side or along with the pork in wraps, alongside the cooked rice and corn on the cob.
