The Heinz Cook at Home range consists of key ingredients you may find useful when making your baby's meals:

Gravy: Ideal for adding to roast dinners or pouring over vegetables and meat.

Cooking sauce: We've created our sauces so they're just right for your baby, and makes life a little easier for you. Combine with Cook at Home pasta to make a delicious meal in minutes.

Pasta: Cut to size, Heinz Cook at Home pasta is a great base for your baby's meals.

Stock cubes: Stock cubes can be used as an ingredient for cooking to add flavour to family meals or meals for babies from 4-6 months onwards.

Here are some tips for creating delicious home-cooked food:

• Use  Cook at Home sauces to complete your baby's meal by adding some of your own ingredients to make marvellous meals in minutes
• Get your baby used to the same meals you are eating by using the same base ingredients, but using Cook at Home sauces instead of family sauces that tend to be high in salt
• Experiment with different shapes like  Cook at Home little pasta stars. If food is interesting to look at, your baby may be more likely to want to explore the taste
• Use ice cube trays to freeze little portions for when you've got a bit less time or when your baby gets a bit older, try using silicone muffin cases - All the Cook at Home sauces are suitable for freezing
