i personally do not like seafood, but i made this for my 1 year old and she LOVED it! she could not get enough and would actually lift the cup and drink the last of it. i left out all the seafood except for fish, as a 1 year old is not supposed to have shellfish, but my husband also said it was good. i am going to make it again for her with the shellfish as soon as she is old enough.

Hi I’m Glen and I live in Sydney with my wonderful husband Ross. We have eight beautiful grandchildren, two of them live near us in Sydney, two live in Western Australia, two more live in Queensland and another two in northern NSW.
I can't imagine how I ever managed before I found Zaar - I use it regularly to plan meals and find new and interesting recipes and most important of all to keep track of our family favourites.
